Default F15 Question

I have an SM F15 with Ailerons and Flaps. I was wondering if its ok to enable some AILEVATOR mixing for better rolls? So now we can have the elevators also acting like ailerons. If so how much mixing is suggested?

I am flying mine without ailerons, just with elevons, and it rolls very nicely. I have glued the ailerons with CA and some epoxy,
saving a little weight and the extra volts for the ailerons servos.

I have the option of doing the same, but I thought since its already been set up and flying nicely why change it. Also, how much throws do you have on the elevons as elevator and as ailerons.

Do it. I've flown F-18C's, E's and F's as well as F-15's with tailerons. I noted the biggest difference with my f-18F as it made it commence turns alittle cleaner, ie a little less draggin' ***** as it started the turns. If nothing else, it will help with some redundancy.

Here I am, posting like I'm flying again.....

Thanx Scaleman! I really hope to be flying again soon!

Oh, and about the throws, I just used the recommended throws for the elevator for taileron deflection...
