Hey Greg, I'm certainly not an expert in this area, but my work does have to do with the repainting of control surfaces. It sounds to me that your ailerons are out of balance. Anytime Ailerons, Rudders & Elevators are repainted,it is required that they be removed from the aircraft and rebalanced. I suspect that somebody at sometime repainted without rebalancing and that this is the cause of your flutter effect. By the way, we just sent a set of 5 control surfaces out for rebalancing and the total bill only came to $250.00. Being that planes have come apart mid-air because of this effect, the $250.00 seems like a very small price to pay.
