Hi,

Thank you all, I have learned a lot. I have also come
up
with two more things to consider, both rather minor
I suspect:

- The control linkages are propably more complicated
in a T-Tail (con).
- With a T-Tail you can build the elevator in one
piece so you
can rig and derig more easily (pro).

Now why are we not seeing more V-Tails? The main pro
for T-Tails
seem to be:

- Good ground clearance
- Less drag
- Operates in clean undisturbed air

How does a V-Tail stand up against that?


Complicated mixing box required for elevator/rudder
control.
