Stability of the aircraft has nothing to do with control surfaces or moving CG to control the aircraft (that kind of aircrafts are very rare anyways). When researching or testing for aircraft's stability, control surfaces are either fixed to neutral position or they let alone to float freely, so control surfaces are not used to make aircraft more stable. ...

A single source, or a source sheet comprised of infinitesimal sources (sinks are just sources with negative strength), produces a velocity field that contains no circulation. Without circulation, it can't possibly generate any lift. The Source Panel Method is just a discretized computational method for source sheet. It, therefore, only produces non-lifting ...
