Cool V tail

Here is the tails of the aircraft. It is what is called a butterfly tail that combines both elevator and rudder function. This design was first introduced on German WW2 aircraft in order to save weight and reducing aerodynamic dragm by mixing the two functions. That configuration also made it into general aviation on the Beechcraft Bonanza.


Here it is, nothing complicated and a good fit with the fuselage.
