I'm sure manyof you are familiar with this design??

I've always wondered how having a 1 sided horizontal stab would effect roll and yaw with a hard elevator input? Is having the lateral balance offset compensating for this, or is it not an issue? Would some sort of mix be needed to offset any tendancies from having the horizontal one sided?

Thanks,

The offset was everywhere on that sucker. The stab/elevator was offset to the fuselage, but think about the fuselage. Was it actually on the centerline of the wing? of the total of all the parts? or just positioned to work where the work was needed?

It was supposed to be a very nice flying airplane.
