Default Pull-Pull and flutter

Don't you get some slack in the non-pulling cable when turning the rudder or elevator? I don't see that this is a problem though because the tention on the pulling side keeps the rudder firmly in place.
If the control horns on the rudder are the same width as the servo control horn and the rudder horn holes are at the hinge line, you will have a parallelogram and will not get slack. Even if you do however, it's VERY uncommon for a rudder to flutter. I had a control rod fail in my Sporster and didn't know untill I tried to knife edge, then when I landed couldn't steer. Has anybody actually seen RUDDER flutter?
