The airfoil on the horizontal is substantially larger.. imo. But you pretty much got it. Slight changes, but tell the tale of the change in flight demands.

I am thinking the anhedral might offset the roll coupling caused by the dihedral in the wing. I have to wonder if the purpose of the anhedral was more to do with the genre than the demands of physics. I could be wrong. It would be cool to hear Bridi's explanation.

I saw the XLT fuse layered over the UFO once... It might have been one of Roguedog's posts... I was amazed that the fuse and stabs were virtually the same on both airplanes.

Thanks!

Fun stuff.
