Default RE: Elevon question

the shape as is is fine - the problem is in flying fast - the ailerons can get into a flutter from flex.
the taper reduces this potential problem
Most problems on these planes is not an "airfoil/"problem but simply flexing in the wing or control surfaces
keep everything as smooth yet slop free as possible-And do not use flexible control surfaces!-
