Default "Roo split elevator/ailerons

I've been flying the Composite ARF/FibreClassics 'Roos for 3 years now and just finished a Rookie. Has anyone out there ever tried splitting the elevons into separate elevators (inboard) and ailerons (outboard)?

being the delta wing that it is, you probally won't get enough elevator to fly it.

Many people have done this, it is a matter of choice. I flew heundreds of flights with out doing it, never had a problem, but some prefer the extra security of 2 servos per function.

You will have to increase movement.

I would have to agree, I use full up while landing with both deflecting.
