From: "John Pitkin" Actually, I find the posted POH to be a bit lacking. You might have a look at this outline.

I was making steep turns on a gusty hot day. As I rolled out, the stick started shaking and I could see the flaperons oscillate about 8-10 times per second. The flutter was transmitted thru the controls to the other side. The outer wing was flapping like a bird. I reduced power and slowed down and the flutter stopped. I have the standard bobweights installed on the outer ends as plans call for. Anyone else experienced this? I was making about 60 mph when it happened. There is no noticeable slack in the controls, and the flaps are not loose on the shaft.
