Imagine a standard plane, tractor configuration. you normally use servos to control the angle of
1) the two ailerons
2) the rudder
3) the elevator
So, could you get by without 2 and 3? In other words, if you only controlled the ailerons (in an elevon configuration), and the whole tail was fixed and unmoving, would the plane still be controllable? Would the plane turn up and down properly, if the ailerons moved up and down together?
Just curious. Thanks!
