Honestly I cannot imagine building a fighter that has what amounts to no elevators.
Well, it is a high speed design. The long engine means that you can already get some quite odd (and useful) behaviours at high angles of attack. In my own experience I've never felt that I needed more powerful elevators (compared to the Lavochkin's poor responsiveness in pitch, for instance).

Having control surfaces that don't separate from the plane at 720kph on the other hand... would be nice.
