Marian Aldenhövel wrote: 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. Regards, -Doug |
