Default RE: Mass blancing ailerons

I think that the people that feel holding the surface with a servo to prevent
flutter is lost. Have you ever thought of the flutter load while driving down the road with the plane in the back? Flutter is the relation between the wing and aileron, not many flaps flutter. Some real aircraft have balance weight in the wing to change it's frequency. I you put the weight at the tip of the aileron then the aileron must be more ridged than if it was spread out. Check my fastest 180HP in the world and the real airplane at bottom.
