I'm sure everyone here is familiar with the combination of the
horizontal stabilizer and elevator to make a stabilator. I think I have
even heard of the concept being used for a ruder. My question is has
anyone ever made a plane taking the concept all the way and made a
"wingeron"? My guess is no one has, seems to me it would be difficult
to do and maintain the required strength with out adding a lot of weight.

It's probably not practical for a real plane but I thought it might be
an interesting experiment to try on an RC plane.





Only one I ever heard of would be the Spratt "Control Wing"

Lots of links from Google...
