Default RE: New twin design project

Thanks for the encouraging and complimentory words Jim.

On a twin (from what i have read) it is good to have the fins and rudders in the propwash, i think that's why designers started putting smaller dual fins and rudders in line with the wing mounted engines.
I believe that if a twin is designed with a standard tail, it needs to be bigger than usual because of the reduced propwash acting on it. I could be wrong on this but it sounds good anyways.
