Default Elev->Flap Mix - How Much?

Marty:

I beleive the short-coupled setup will inhibit the usefullness of flap mixing to the extent we do it on Unlimited Fun FLy ships. The elevator needs a lever arm to fight the flaps successfully. With a short-coupled rig, I think the mixed setup will act more like full-crow airbrakes. However, experiment with various amounts and see what makes the tightest loops.
