Default RE: what causes flutter?

Also, very large control surfaces tend to flutter more easily. Take the GP U-Can-Do for example. It is very prone to aileron flutter with those huge surfaces sticking way back behind the hinge line even if it has good hinge gaps and stiff, tight, linkage. Keep it slow and the work great, go to fast and it is a recipe for disaster.
