Default Joyflight in a BT-13 trainer

Hi Guys
Here's a brief video of my time playing around in a BT-13 'Vultee Vibrator'.

My brother helped rebuild it and I got a chance to try it out- i was in the back checking the gauges and switches. A large number of them are original, but thankfully the ones in the front have mostly been replaced.
I was a bit disturbed to note a flutter in the right aileron- not enough to feel through the stick but it made it feel 'heavy' when banking to the right.
For a 70 year old airframe it felt okay, but i doubt it'll be doing aerobatics any time soon.
