quote- Airforce7> I think you'll want to fuse the surfaces together and use a single link to the control surface to create elevons. I recommend that. Had I done that on mine I would have saved a little money and had an easier time programing my 9 channel radio.

took a while to find but I thought I remembered that quote..

..to split or not to split...........let's not confuse anyone,, I glued them together... you can leave them split but imo I'd only use them as the elevon set-up.. I have heard that when the rookie was first designed it was planned to use the set-up like Airfoce 7 has his ( inbrds= elevators & outbrds =ailerons), but they realized on the 1st test flt there was not enough elevator surface to fly safely (not as much an issue now with canards helping to on rookie 2s).,, so it was back to the drawing board and before elevons were considered someone suggested thrust pitch vectoring, thus the 1st thrust vectoring jet for mass sales was born, pitch thrust vectoring was also sold as an option on the old fiberclassic's euro-fighter or what we know now as the eurosport.
