Betcha you could understand non-linear math
by figuring out the source of flutter in control
surfaces, and then why a mass counter balance
is needed even for a 152.

"Flap flutter." Well, it might be news to you that flaps don't
have mass balances. They're not subject to flutter.

What? "You've never seen flap flutter". You missed the infamous
"Cherokee Dance" created by flap flutter when the ol' Johnson bar was
coupled to a pilot with a case of nerves who kept missing the catch?
Wellll...It is more of a low frequency oscillation rather than
flutter.
