RE: [RCSE] DLG Aileron flutter.

Hah - that'll teach you for building lighter than me! Recommended solution is to mass-balance the ailerons with a couple of ounces of lead at the tips. Failing that leave it as is and we'll run a sweepstake at the Nats on whether it holds together. :-) Ciao - Chris ****** Chris Kaise
