Default RE: How much pitch control would elevons provide

The configuration that was opted for is conventional elevators, which are quite small but seemingly effective. The glider is launched piggy back using a cradle and release mechanism.

The first one has strip ailerons but one of the guys currently converting will be using rudder and we'll see how that compares.

We've not tried towing. The server wasn't working the last time a pic was tried... trying again.
