Flutter will cause a plane to crash out of control. It is an oscillation resonance excited by the energy in the air flow, If the cop ( center of pressure) and CG center of gravity do not coincide, if you look closely at the planes control surfaces, you will see weights ahead of the hinge. A flag waving id the wind is flutter.
