Flutter tends to show up when flying fast. I have generally seen it on ailerons. You have to go down the list and eliminate all of the variables. Starting with linkages, and flexible surfaces and hinge gap. Those long ailerons on torque rods are the worst. tapering the ailerons back really works. Possibly adding tip plates may as well.
