Another mechanical plane I made to explore how mixed aileron and elevator controls (Elevons) might work. Canards are added to aid in takeoff. Red linkages represent the aileron control, blue for elevator, and purple for the mixed controls. Yellow Represents the stick. Pitch control is ok, but never use full aileron, or the roll rate will be reduced significantly and the nose pitches. enjoy, and happy flying!
