Ok,

Here's a question that popped into my head today.

I currently am setup for aileron and elevator control for my 1/8th F-16. I realize there are alternate configurations available as well. I've read a bit about using elevons, which does seem appealing since the ailerons can be used as flaps. What's the consensus on this vs. an elev/ail setup?

I saw a vid on youtube where a pilot was performing control surface checks before his flight. He proceeded to check elevators then switch over to elevons... Is this ever performed in the air? Perhaps as an approach and landing config?

What's the best way to go? This is my first jet.

Thanks, Pete
