Default RE: Do or Dont control surfaces TE rounded?

General consensus is that it is better to leave the trailing edges square. Rounding them has been shown to contribute to flutter but that does not mean rounding them will definitely cause them to flutter. There are many variables to take into consideration. However, I see no advantage to rounding them and do not do so on my airplanes. My .02 cents on the subject.
