Randy,
Some
LNC2 have been know to have a buz at the ailerons. I spent lots of time
during my initial test flights 8 years ago trying to debug this problem.
Finally, somebody suggested that the problem maybe flexing of the 'cup' section
(leading edge) of the ailerons. Solution: add a half-moon rib in the
middle of the aileron 'cup' section, similar to what was installed on the
flaps. Result: no more buzzing after this fix,
completely eliminated. A number of other Lancairs developed this
problem and the solution was to stiffen the leading edge of the
ailerons.
And
yes, this is NOT flutter coz flutter would have ripped your ailerons off your
wings and you would have been unable to fix this problem...

I'm flying around today and I looked out
the cockpit and I noticed my right aileron fluttering. Looked at my left
aileron and it's doing the same thing. I turn left and right, the ailerons are
working fine but still fluttering. I got to my desination, bought some fuel
and went flying some more. This time I didn't see much flutter, if any, at
all.
Anyone seen this or have any info about
it?
