I've flown a 701 with the hingless hinges.
The ailerons felt very stiff in flight.
I can well believe that set-up would prevent flutter -
or at least move the resonant response way up there.
A 701?
Hingless hinges can be done on the 6xx series planes, but the 701
(according to the plans) uses hinges. Not to say that someone couldn't
do it on a 701, but it would seem to be a diversion from the standard
designe that would be of dubious value.
