Hi,
a friend is currently constructing an rc-model from scratch and 3-views available. He also did a simulation of the airflow around all surfaces. As a result he enlarged the elevator some percent and set it higher. The airflow from the wing out-blends the elevator effectivity at high angles of attack.
Some care is needed too for a good wing section-blend, as the elliptical wing tends to airflow-separation at the tips.
Some very good photos are in the "Speed seekers"-book.
Regards,
Rene
