Default RE: flutter in aileron and flaps

BTW, we should have suggest to you that you do the hands-on test first thing. It's what we would have done first thing.... chuckle.....

And how strong are those servos?

I think I could try to remove the 2-3 millimeter of down aileron and flap I was flying around with. Maybe if the wing controls were more neutral the moderate dives that were resulting in flutter would not occur.
Not a good idea.
The structure has some weakness and has only hinted what that can do. It has shown you there is a problem. There is a problem. You've been given a second chance. If you're trying simply to save yourself some work, it's not going to be much work at all. And shouldn't cost much either. Depending on what you find out with that hands-on test.
