Default Stickit IV mods?

You might want to change the airfoil slightly on the Stickit IV. One of the problems with the IV was a tendency for aileron flutter at higher speeds.
Boy, I wish I had done this.... My stickIt (rip) had horrible aileron flutter... I like the menace airfoil better and I like the reinforced leading edge of the ailerons... I think it will be a much better flyer.

for clairification.... You talking about laying a rib flat on the work bench, then laying a straight edge over it from the spar to the TE and cutting the above portion off. Same for bottom...... Right?
