Default RE: Having engine, wing and horiz. stab on a common centerline as opposed to having it otherwise.

ORIGINAL: karolh

I have noticed that some models have the engine and wing on a common centerline on the fuse while the horizontal stab is sometimes on that line or above that line in varying amounts. What are the advantages of having the stab in line or above the wing / engine center line.

Also what advantages are derived from having elevators and rudders with those counterfoil sections.

What is a counterfoil section?
