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?
The V-Tail setup is less likely to cause fuse damage in a ground loop.
