Default RE: Elevons..uh I think..


ORIGINAL: khlash

how will my plane fly differently if I setup Elevons (where the elevator halves move in sync with the same side aileron, is that what they are called?). Is there a disadvantage to setting these up and if so should I give them as much throw as possible? Thanks in advance.

What plane are you flying?

Elevons are used with delta wing planes - no separate wing and horizontal stabilizer. If you have ailerons, you don't need to put elevon mix on your elevator halves.

Is there something else you're not telling us about, besides the type of plane?

Best wishes,
