For a  combined part  like an elevon, make your aileron normally, align the axis, etc.  Now copy and paste it in place, name that the elevator.  

Delete all but three points of the one part and scale the resulting polygon/face really small so that it "hides" inside the other part.  Link the "big part" to the 'tiny part"
