Default RE: How much pitch control would elevons provide

The LOWERING of "flaberons", flaps or Elevons will pitch the nose down. Not up. The LOWERING of the elevator will also pitch the nose DOWN.

EXAMPLE: Upon landing, the flaps are lowered and the added lift pitches the nose down. If lowering the flaps pitched the nose UP it would put the aircraft in a stall.
