Default Formula 3D flutter

I've been flying me nice new Modeltech Formula 3D over the weekend, flies great but am having to be REAL careful with the throttle to avoid flutter on the elevators, I can barely get up to knife-edge speed without it happening. I'm using the supplied hardware, and there doesn't appear to be too much play in the setup, tho I must admit I am only using standard servos at present.

Another more adept flier who flies a Hype had a go and commented on the same thing, so I'm happy it's not a case of just flying it too darn fast which we know it's not designed for. He also took a look at the linkages and didn't think the play was much different than on his hype which is also using standard servos.

Suggestions?

Chris
