Default RE: flutter in aileron and flaps

OK, ok...... seriously now..........

Compare the cord of the surface to the height of the horn. That'll give you a ratio. Use the ratio on the recommended throw. That's how far the outer hole in the horn must move.

A 1" horn on a 3" aileron that needs to be moved 1/2" would mean the hole in the horn must move roughly 1/3 the required 1/2" throw.
