Hi,
If you set up inboard ele and outboard aileron you will have problems rotating especially with the thrustline as is at full power, how do I know? Ask Ron Sweeney, he saw mine go in the swamp at Pampa after failing to rotate, up to the waist in freezing water is not recommended. Phillipe Avonds saw it go in and his opinion was set it up as elevons on both sufaces as you need the ele power further out on the wing. I did another 150+ flights before selling it, have no idea how many more flights Jon Smith put on it using the same set up.......Mike
