Have never flown one unfortunately. They had a problem with tailfeathers departing many years back, I believe to to flutter for not properly balanced flight controls. I believe the structure was beefed up.

However, based on little and vague knowledge I would be suspicious if during a walkaround, after a paint job, paint drippings were found on the tail. I believe this was considered to be a cause of flutter on controls that are apparently quite easily out of balance. And if you did take it flying in such unanswered circumstance, avoid higher speeds.
