Default RE: Short coupled V-tail, elevator or no?

Murrat, you got my attention when you said you had the CG at 18% mac. That CG is so far forward as to make the airplane almost unflyable. You would have to hold a bunch of up elevator and they don't look all that big. Are you sure that it is 18% of mac and that you have the mac figured OK.
