empenage modification
I will be building a House Of Balsa 2X4 glider when it finally arrives from Towers.I'm thinking about modifing the empenage from traditional rudder-elevator to V-tail.Will this mod ruin the flight performance?And in the building stage of the V-tail,should I make the tail larger and how much of an angle should there be in the V?
