Default Rounded Trailing Edges

I disagree with the square trailing edges. You should always at least bevel or round the trailing edges to maintain the laminar airflow coming off of the wing, other wise you will create "eddies". Eddies are turbulant airflow, which can and will cause flutter. I've seen this effect in wing tunnels, more than once (low speed wind tunnel tests).
