In a crosswind my Reaper will flip over and swap end for end .I have fixed gear on my Reaper .Ihave noticed that some Reapers are built with inboard elevons .In effect the whole trailing edge is elevons . Does this help with the slow speed control ?

The F-16's I have are horrible in a crosswind. My F-18 does not like it either. I'm pretty comfortable to about 15 MPH Direct then I have to start working hard. I flew my F-18 in a 25 MPH Direct crosswind twice and looked like this after I landed it[sm=bananahead.gif]

Our ELAN is PERFECT, we made 100 landings with very strong lateral winds, but, it did not change the attitude, you do not have to make lateral corrections in the end, because the speed is low and the wind can hurl the airplane laterally.
hope helps
