In my experience, the vertical stabilizer is the weak link in many designs. If the vertical is not stiff enough the rudder/fin coupling can cause flutter. The servo and linkage can only do so much. Maybe one of the aero engineers can chime in.

I have fluttered the fin on 2 different planes. Not just the rudder, the whole fin moves with the rudder.
