Status: offline 		Great looking molds Kevin. Wish I had the expertise. I'm still cranking out balsa and foam wing Q500's.

Your V-tail will also have less drag. Especially if the 110 deg angle is at the top of the airframe and doesn't fit in the middle; i.e., on top, forming 3 angles 125/110/125 with the fuse. Verses junctions further down the fuse forming angles of 125/55 and on the other side 55/125.
\ /
.| Three angles 125/110/125 (the .| represents the fuse. I had to put the period in to force the formating)

.|
\ / V-tail further down. 125/55/block of wood/55/125. The two 55 degree angles create more drag than the 110.
.|

.|
\|/ V-tail at the bottom, more drag than at the top, 55/55/250 degrees.


And then there's __|__ ugh! Very draggy...
