Default Aileron flutter at high speed?

One very simple solution would be to reduce the area of the ailerons (cut them shorter and fill the gap with the piece of aileron you cut off) and increase the throw of the ailerons.
Pay attention to any slop when you do this as the increased slop due to larger throw could actually make things worse. You could then use dual/exponential rates to compensate for the reduced area when landing or flying at slower speeds.
