Tail wing question: High or low?
looking over the various designs of planes (and this may need to be moved to the builder forum) but is there a difference where the tail wing sits ? I see some on the top, in the middle or on the bottom.

Short answer:
In theory, yes, it can matter.
In practice, on a beginner's plane or typical sport plane it makes little to no difference.
