Default INVERTED V-TAIL

HI

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME HOW YOU SET UP A INVERTED V-TAIL. LOOKING FROM THE REAR, TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN DOES THE RIGHT RUDDERON GO UP AND THE LEFT RUDDERON GO DOWN, (LIKE ALERONS). I DO KNOW THAT A UPRIGHT V-TAIL IS OPPOSITE OF ALERONS.

THANKS EDDIEO.

Hold the plane, looking from the rear, with one surface vertical, as if it were -the- rudder.
The direction of motion is the same as a rudder would be.

Or to use what you've already got .... YES

Technically they are rudderVATORS. RudderONS would imply a sharing of the rudder and ailerons. But I'm being picky....

HI

THANKS FOR THE HELP, BUT I NEED FOR IT TO BE CLEAR IN MY MIND. LOOKING FROM THE REAR AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN DOES THE RIGHT RUDDERVATOR GO TO THE UP POSITION AND THE LEFT GO TO THE DOWN POSITION.

THANKS

Tall Pauls picture is correct. Looking from the rear, right rudder would have the right RudderVator going up and the left RudderVator going down.

Same as an upright V-Tail
