Default RE: Balancing tailerons?


Remember, low aspect ratio swept surfaces like this have shallow lift curves, that is, the lift per angle of attack is relatively low. So, you are going to need a good bit of throw, and they will be relatively easy to fly smoothly. Plus, you need to have enough throw on the surface to go to full elevator and still more to deflect for aileron effect.
