Default F-16 setup: Elevons or ailerons-elevators ?

Hello guys,

Im curious what does everyone think about this matter for the F-16 - whats better, elevons or ailerons\elevators ? and what are the differences ?

The reason im asking is that im building a Cermark F-16 turbine soon with some mods, and could modify the wing beforehand to glue the ailerons and fly on elevons, but i have not heard of anyone flying this setup with specifically a Cermark F-16 ??

To tset this we have set up my buddies' Cermark F-16 prop plane to test fly on Friday (it flew on standard setup to date) - what shall i expect from this setup ? any idea about the throws ? any tips are welcome..

And of course the most stupid question but one must ask, "aileron" input is like in the wings right ? i.e. right input - right elevator goes UP left goes DOWN ?

thanks for the help.
