As I have no experience with elevons, am I correct in assuming they work much the same as flaps, in other words, when they are reflexed downward, they increase lift? If this is the case,
how do they behave in two scenarios: (1) rotation at takeoff, as with a tri-gear setup, and (2)
flare upon landing? My mind tells me that rotation at takeoff would require UPWARD relex of the elevon as is the case with conventionally-tailed elevator design. I'm interested in building a Bill Evans Simitar Slow Motion as my first wing. I hope someone can clear this up for me before I lose my mind!

I have read a few threads on wing designs, and am led to believe that they dont really rotate
upon takeoff but rather "lift off" in a rather flat attitude. Is this so?

Also, is anyone familiar with this design? It has a 60 inch wing and only a .15 for power, and have been led to believe it's relatively fast nonetheless. What about that?

ANY replies to this might help me sleep tonight........Crow
