I know the F-22 and F-18 are canted outward to get into "cleaner" air during higher alpha values as well as stealth characteristics. Since those planes need computer assistance I'm assuming they also mix elevator control when using the rudders. Is this true? Thanks!

Full scale F/A-18s use very little, if any, elevator mix w/ rudder application. However, in landing/takeoff configuration both rudders are at near full deflection inward to assist w/ positive aoa. Nearly all other surfaces are mixed together, with values dependent upon airspeed. Stabilators, flaps, LE flaps, and ailerons all work together in both pitch and roll.
