Default RE: Flustered with futter


ORIGINAL: Rodney

If aileron flutter is a problem, always have the aileron horn at an odd number of divisions; i.e. at 1/3 span, 1/5 span,2/3 span etc. , never at an even spacing as this will help to prevent some of the components causing flutter. Reasons are quite complex but if interested, check into vibrations of structures.
That is very interesting. Would you want the bias more outboard or inboard? I will have to keep this one in mind for the future. In the very small world of RC aircraft, would this theory still apply?
