Here's an offer I received in ICQ.
Maybe somebody of the experts will evaluate the idea?

private void flutter() {
 if (Realism.Flutter_Effect)
     ((Aircraft) actor).msgCollision(actor, "CF_D0", "CF_D0");
    }   
    private void flutterDamage() {
 if (Realism.Flutter_Effect) {
     String string;
     switch (World.Rnd().nextInt(0, 29)) {
     case 0:
     case 1:
     case 2:

if (indSpeed > VmaxAllowed
       && (World.Rnd().nextFloat(0.0F, 16.0F)

       flutterDamage();

flutter code from the RealFlightModel class.
I guess the author's advice is to implement this in the AIFlightModel class?
Reasonable first hand, but it turns out to be wrong since AI simply doesn't know how to avoid this, so they'll still dive at above max speed and thus do flutter damage to themselves.
