It is just bad engineering to put unnecessary weight in outboard wing panels, especially in RES models. Another thing I don't do on my original designs is put wing servos aft of the spar. Bad engineering. I once even had to add weight at the leading edge of the wing near the tip to alleviate a violent wing flutter problem on my cross country sailplane. Another thing I do on my original designs is to design the spoilers to avoid pitch problems when spoilers are deployed. Been doing this for 30 years too. My RES models can be flown with any three channel radio. No mixing required. The Ava and Bubble Dander both are my idea of what an RES model should be except for the spoiler and modern computer radios can take care of that problem.
