Confused again... it's the elevon parmeters this time.

[little square dot]

I was trying to ascertain the best approach to scaling wing/control surface lift/drag parameters, but stock .cfgs seem to be inconsistent.

Does anyone know why all of the elevons have the same surface area in the .cfgs?

There doesn't appear to be any logic to the system, unless I'm missing something. According to the configs the small control surfaces have the same surface area as the larger ones, but they produce less drag.....I'm wondering whether this was an oversight, or perhaps the surface area parameter doesn't actually do anything?

Also, since I couldn't find much to work with using stock .cfgs, is anyone able to explain the proper approach to ballpark-scaling of wing/control surface parameters, and the relationship between dragCoeff & deflectionLiftCoeff?

Many thanks.
