Yes, very alarming. I have had one flutter incident in my ASW-20. Immediately fixed by rapidly raising the nose. It was a hot day , flying close to VNE. Perhaps not enough allowance for difference between IAS and TAS. Repaired top rudder hinge which had slight wear, and then could not reproduce the event at VNE.

Has anyone ever experienced flutter before in a sailplane? Other than In condor (damn ridge tasks). I should imagine it would be rather alarming.
