tail problems
 
guys, do you think if my horizontal tail fin is about 3-4 degrees crooked in relation to the aircraft nose, wings and verticakl tail fins- would this have a huge impact on the flying performance like the plane going out of control and me not being able to keep it straight in the air? A stalled spin, or every time I puish up the elevator the plane will make a roll towards the ground? Do you think a litttle trim would solve the problem?

Yishht87,

Thanks.

you really have to define "crooked" better... is it bented ? is it twisted? to which direction? is it only one half or both of them? it the "crookedness" is symetrical ?

I mean crooked by SLANTED. As in the tail fin is slanted by 2 degrees to the left, at a downslope.
