Parked Rafale A, elevon position?

[Robban]

I'm working on the Heller 1:48 Rafale A. I've done some serious modifications to it. Well I had to considering the extremely errouneous shape of the forward fuselage and belly. I also want to add some life into it by dropping the elevons. Now, the elevons are divided into three sections. If they drop how do they drop? Does each one have a different angle? Or do they even drop at all? Most pics of the Rafale A parked(at airshows) shows the elevons in the "up" position.

Can anyone help me with this one?

Hopefully this will answer your question. This was taken at the rather poor airshow at RNAS Yeovilton yesterday!

Beautiful pictures! Thanks Tigger!

However, I need pics or info on the A version Rafale.

This beauty!

Observe on this pic that only the middle left elevon i dropped.

Here's a couple of photos I took of an 'M' a few years ago at Yeovilton. As you can see the positioning of the flaps/elevons were different on both wings.
