Aileron flutter David Tubby Davidt dtubby9753@aol.com

I have just started to notice my left aileron outboard  (the one that carrys the adjustable trim tab) vibrating at high frequency in normal flight. The inboard portion of the aeleron and the right one are rock steady.

Also I had to replace the left outboard hinge a few years ago as it was starting to show excessive play, so the vibration must have been the cause of the wear.

Any thoughts, is this an issue? anyone else noticed it?
