Thank you for the diagram.
I can follow the diagram and your explanation
on 2 mixers and one servo reverser closely.
But the above part of adding the third servo
with two Ys on the elevator and ailerons for tail feathers, I am
not quite sure I fully understand it. Please give more
details, explantion for this part. Or better yet, a diagram
of it would be nice. I would appreciate your
help very much. I guess I am "step by step" kind of guy.
You're welcome.

No problem. This diagram should help. You just set up actual elevons using an elevon mixer. But instead of plugging the mixer directly into the receiver, you plug it into another set of "Y" cables on the aileron and elevator channels. They'd be active all the time, but I don't think having roll control on both the elevators and ailerons at the same time would adversely effect the handling characteristics of the Flanker. We've flown then with both elevons only and ailerons and there's no difference in how it handles with either one.
