Default RE: Do or Dont control surfaces TE rounded?

Full scale Piper Cubs have rouded trailing edges on the tail due to the tube construction covered with cloth. If you build a plane and power it with the engine it was designed for and install radio gear carefully, odds are you won't have trouble with flutter. Some designs just can't stand square T/E's. (EG. sportster, ugly stick, smith miniplane, any open cockpit plane for that matter)
