Flies flap their wings at frequencies much too high for pure muscle action. A hypothesis for how

Question:

Flies flap their wings at frequencies much too high for pure muscle action. A hypothesis for how they achieve these high frequencies is that the flapping of their wings is the driven oscillation of a mass-spring system. One way to test this is to trim a fly's wings. If the oscillation of the wings can be modeled as a mass-spring system, how would this change the frequency of the wingbeats?
