Default Hinge positions to reduce flutter

Silvanskii:

Yes it makes a difference in the susceptibility to harmonically induced flutter. Improper horn location also has an effect - don't put the horn at the center or 1/4 surface span position.

When the aileron flutters and says "Goodbye,"
. You can watch, you can cuss, or you can sigh.
