There should be little wobbble at all in the Elevons. Check that your blocks are securely glued in place and that the hole was not drilled to over size. Also make sure that there is no play in your pushrods and that the servo trays are secure.

Hey thanks i checked all that and it all checks good. the flex is coming from the aft part of the fuse right where the tail cone screws on, its not very bad but i am expecting it to be pretty fast with the setup i have and i just dont want that to be a problem. thanks for any more info you have.

I used to fly the HET F15 with a hotter that norm set up, which had the same problem. Flutter it did. [:'(]
