Jan 8, 2014 · The 800mm V-Tail from FMS is a very stable platform on which beginners could gather the confidence to move onto larger aircraft. The aileron/elevator/throttle instead of rudder/elevator/throttle configuration makes the V-Tail comparatively more maneuverable for an aircraft of its class and size.

Mar 26, 2002 · A V-tail sized by this rule will have grossly undersized horizontal and vertical tail volumes. The right way to size a V-tail is to first decide on the equivalent horizontal and vertical tail areas that a conventional tail would have. THEN you figure out the correct V-tail area and angle using two simple formulas:

Aug 27, 2019 · Unlike Joe, a v-tail is a compromise of forces versus true yaw and pitch forces of the straight tails or a t-tail. Now, yes, you get a v-tail with enough size margin in and angle of the v, is right, it gets better. Joe is holding a Grand Esprit, it can make a v-tail look good when in good air, it can also Dutch roll like a mad man if you get ...

Feb 5, 2003 · For turns, a v-tail will deflect in the opposite direction as elevons. Example: For a left turn with an elevon equipped flying wing, the left elevon goes up and the right elevon goes down. This rolls the plane left and initiates the turn. With a v-tail plane, for a left turn, the left surface moves down and the right surface moves up.

Dec 7, 2020 · A V-tail does a better job of staying out of rocks and weeds on landing than a conventional tail, while keeping more of its mass low and close to the tail boom than a T-tail. The net result in both cases is a reduction in loads on the tail boom in a bad landing.

Sep 12, 2016 · Slow Stick VTOL with V-Tail This is the first workup drawing for the Slow Stick showing the calculated center of gravity range, the center of lift, the propeller position in hover, and the V-tail. The center of lift position within the center of gravity range looks good since there appears to be sufficient margin to accommodate forward weight ...

Nov 14, 2020 · Jim Allen's original "Quik-V", back in the 1990s, used a tiny stub rudder, actually just the last inch or two of the fuselage, to satisfy this requirement. You could drive both flippers using a split pushrod from a single servo, and then use another small servo for the "rudder."

Jun 6, 2004 · (elevator ch 2 and rudder ch 4) And for JR what ever channel is elevator and rudder, either way you have to have v-tail mixing activated. I sure love my Evo 12 it really makes things so much easier. When making a R rudder turn on a v-tail, the right v-tail has to go down while the L v-tail goes up. And vice a versa for the left rudder turn.

Mar 18, 2011 · Unless it is a two piece V-tail, traveling with a one piece V-tail model is a pain. For TD planes in the US , cross tails are dominant in competitions due to a percieved advantage in the landing zone. V-tails dominate in F3B and slope racing. If you want the lightest version of the plane you're considering, go with the V-tail.
