Default trailing edge.. to round off, or not to round off??

Squared edges are not necessary.

However, there are several other areas that you need to concentrate on to avoid flutter.

1. Tight, slop-free linkages.
2. Very small hinge gap, or taped hinge line.
3. Ailerons should not extend all the way to the wingtips.

If these 3 things are taken care of, you will not have an issue with flutter.
