Just completed fuse and part of wing. Looking for info about elevator/ailerons, is it better to split controls or leave it as a ailevon setup. I am using a OS 77 with Byron fan unit. This will be my first ducted fan jet. I also will have a century sporthawk with a OS 90 with a Dynamax fan done soon. Thanks for the help.

I am just finishing the covering on my byro blaster enforcer and I have opted for the slit elevator and aileron versus the elevon. Using the computer mixing I can get the elevon setup on takeoff to get alot of elevator control but once in the air I would like a normal setup were the elevator and aileron are seperate. I don't think that their is some real advantage except that in the split setup if you ever had a servo failure you could still control your plane. As well the chance of flutter is reduced since the smaller control surfaces are more rigid and with a servo on each will reduce the wear compared to the elevon setup due to the force applied on the servo.

My 2 cents.

Default Either way

I think either way would be acceptable, BUT I feel you would still need to split the ailervons and use 2 servos on each side of the wing. Both methods would allow redundancy
