Default RE: MiG-29 Stab Flutter Cause?

Ok,now I'm a little confused and nervous...lol. I recently bought a YA F-15 as my first jet and noticed a buzzing from the servos(8411) on the stab.I disconnected the linkage and found that the stabs are very "tail" heavy. I wasn't sure if this was by design or if they needed to be balanced on the pivot. Would the solution be to balance them or use a more heavy duty servo (8711) or both?
Typically I fly Warbirds so a flying stab is new to me.I would hate to learn by trial and error on this one because the learning curve could be very costly.I have watched several vids of Shaun's F-15 and some others and they all looked fine.Could this be a problem only on the Mig (I hope).
I will be paying close attention to this thread in hopes of a solution!
