Default RE: flutter in aileron and flaps

The best method to prevent flutter is to maximize the moment arms of the pushrod at the servo end, and the surface end.
The closer the pushrod is to the hinge line at the surface, the less resistance there is to anything that might excite flutter.
The further out on the servo arm the pushrod can be, the more precision you have in surface movement, and the resistance to flutter increases.
