Hey guys. I have just got back into this hobby, and want to build a glider. I used to have a ton of gliders (among 20 other planes) and enjoyed flying them. The this is, all my models have been out of kits and what-not, i want to make my own this time. (more or less)

I went up to my addic/storage place in my house, or as i like to call ... the "graveyard" and in the heap of wings and bodies i found an old glider that i used to love. This thing spaned 14 or so ft. It was a beast, and had some great features, Including "flaperons". Anyway, the prob is, is the fuse is broken in half and unrepairable. Im going to use the wings though.

The point is, im making a new body, that will have a V-tail design, which i always wanted to have, but never did. I know how to set it up mechanically and everything, But...i dont really know how big/long each tail piece should be. I was just thinking about going with the good ol' "TLAR" way (that looks about right), but thought i better make sure 1st.

So, is there any equation, or rule-of-thumb for V-tails? Like wing span vs tail span? Sq. inch vs ___ ????

Thanks for the help. ~Dylan Shine
