Default Tail flutter!

I presume you are all familiar with the Quicksilver GT500. Those who have
flown one will no doubt be aware of the in flight trim and how it works. I
am designing a small single seater. I too would love this in flight trim
assembly on mine. This would involve having a single strut connection on
each tailplane to allow the leading edge to be raised and lowered as
required. My issue is with flutter in such a configuration. What are your
thoughts regarding elevator static balancing as insurance against the onset
of flutter. I expect no more than 60knots from this bird.
