It's very possible that it's a vibration
from the engine. It doesn't do it all the time, or at least, I can't see the
ailerons doing it all the time. I have a pretty smooth 360 but there is a little
shake in the stick, but not any more than other LNC2's I've been in.
I don't have very much slop at all in the
hinges or links, there's no fatigue cracking or loose hardware. I'll have to
check the balance.

"I'm flying around today and I looked
out the cockpit and I noticed my right aileron fluttering."
Is it flutter, or vibration? Isn't flutter
the result of flight surfaces responding to aerodynamic loads? And
isn't it usually destructive? Vibration is simply mechanical and, while
it could eventually cause problems due to wear and fatigue, it's not
destructive like flutter. A recent Kitplanes had a good article on
flutter.
