i thought I would start this off with a wacky, yet serious idea...

What is the lowest airspeed you have heard of that experienced control surface flutter? If you were trying to design a plane for the record of slowest flutter, what do you think that would be and would there be anything that could be learned from it?

I know that this bottom edge is a little fuzzy (for instance, someone could rightfully say that a stick-free phugoid oscillation is a form of flutter), but I am looking for actual stick-fixed control surface flutter that doesn’t just mirror the flight path.

OK, maybe “wacky” was to tame of a descriptor.
