Default RE: What are the advantages & disadvantages of using Elevons & Flaprons

Well your idea of what Elevons are is not quite right. If you are familiar with delta wing aircraft such as the Park Zone Stryker they use elevons. They are a mix of elevator and aileron for aircraft that do not have a traditional elevator where the main wing provides all horizontal stabalization. Typically these aircraft only have Elevons and throttle control however some have rudder. I refer to them as "bank and yank" flyers
