For one thing you would not have enough elevator to flair for landing, with just the inboard surfaces as the elevator. Surface area is too small.
Hi Terry,
I guess that depends on how big you make the inboard surfaces and how much throw you have. At any rate for landing flair it would be identical to having outboard ailerons and inboard elevators, which two guys who posted above say works fine.

Joe, I was refering to Roos and Rookies without canards and with the stock composite wings which come already cut out for ailerons. Not increasing the size of the surfaces.
