Default RE: Flutter problems and Mechanical linkage Setup Lesson Learned

makes perfect sense, I assume we don’t see mass balanced ailerons (like most elevator and rudders) because there is a bigger chance of flutter?

also its worth mentioning that if you set up your surface with say a 1/4" servo arm and a 1/4" horn (1-1) and you grabbed your aileron and gave it a good tweak something would definitely "move" or brake. do the same with a 2" servo arm and a 2" horn (1-1 again) and it will be as strong as a horse. (it will also allow full movement as the pushrod wont hit the wing)
