Re: Aileron flutter

      Since I couldn't see the original from Greg, this is sort of a shot in the dark,
      but if there is flutter - fix it. 
      
      I have an adjustable aileron trim tab on the right wing, at at 88 mph indicated,
      the right wingtip would disappear into a blur. Knowing that was not good, I
      got the aileron counterbalance kit from Kolb and the blur went away permanently.
      Peace of mind increased exponentially.
      
      Then there was the matter of the rudder flutter, take your feet off the rudder
      pedals and they would start to shuffle and the tail would start to wig-wag. Got
      Vince to follow me to see what it looked like in flight, and his immediate comment
      over the radio "Don't know what you are doing, but you better make it quit
      - your boom tube looks like a sine wave."
      
      Short version - flutter or control surface misbehavior for any reason is totally
      unacceptable: fix it.  Unless your next-of-kin is really into slow cars and
      sad music...
