The flight manual for my T-tailed DG-303 Acro allowed flick maneuvers

Lucky you. Lucky me that I didn't explicitely mention the DG-300.

Seriously, I only wanted to say that all airplanes which are primarily
designed for serious, competitive aerobatics have a "conventional" tail.
All which I know, that is. (And yes, the salto has a V-tail, which isn't
worse, torqueforcewise.)

Of course there are many airplanes with T-tail which are allowed for
aerobatics to some degree, and some might even be allowed for flick
maneuvres.

What was the question again? Ah, pros and cons of T-tail vs. conventional.
