I've had more than a couple aeronautical engineers point me to an FAA
advisory circular that says that cable tension alone is not sufficient to
ensure the absence of flutter. That's the basis for their conclusion, along
with the fact that the left aileron of N158MD departed the aircraft before
anything else.

I was given the advice in confidence, and not given permission to pass along
the names of the people involved. When I get a moment tomorrow (I'm about to
go off to a meeting), I'll post the AC reference involved.

I wasn't directing that at you, actually; I was directing it at the people
who are saying the design is unsafe and we should ground the fleet
immediately, running around like chickens with their heads cut off.
