it may be worthwhile to explain/mention that with ackerman geometry, the amount of slack on the non-pull side is proportional to the amount of surface deflection........ when the deflection is small, the slack is very slight and as the deflection gets larger, the slack gets greater........ this keeps the likeliness of flutter in check at small angles of deflection, where it's more likely to happen and is more detrimental to responce, but allows a no-resistance pull at larger deflections, where the control surface is really loaded against the prop wash/ airflow and flutter is most likely not going to happen anyways.
