Does anyone know of any guidelines for sizing elevons in tailless aircraft?
My thought was to use normal aileron practice and then increase control surface area to reflect the volume (area X distance from MAC) of the elevator on a conventional horizontal stab, so about 40% of the normal full horizontal surface volume.
Does that make sense?
Cheers,
Matthew
