Any of you had built Airsail's Piper Tomahawk???
Is rigging the control (pushrod from servo to elevator)
pretty easy? I was thinking the "T" tail set up make the
control set up complex. Is the "T" tail config sturdy. If memory serves me right Goldberg Gentle Lady has problems with this T tail config being broken. (not to bash CG Gentle Lady)
Thanks

I have the VMAR tomahawk and it's similar to the Airsil kit. the only time the T-tail came apart on me was when I crash landed and it ripped the left landing and bent my new robart nose gear backwards...the tail broke off at the point where the rudder fits with the fuselage. I put 30 min. epox on it and rebuild the firewall, and left maingear mount. It's now ready to fly again, just need to replace the nose gear, spinner and stripped nosegear servo...
