​‪@Thercgeek‬'s latest upload on the F14 jogged my memory that Elevon wing types on Spektrum radios are a thing that totally work for aircraft like this with full flying stabs. This opened me up to the idea of considering full span spoilers not just spoilerons, but moving the flaps and ailerons up to destroy lift, create drag, and create ground friction on landing to really get short rollouts. We're not talking about a STOL Tomcat but maybe a STOLadjacent F14D.
