How does a V tail ( or inverted V tail) compared to an X tail configuration? Is it less effective due to the smaller control surface?
This is an RC model of a Japanese anime submarine. The sub has a pumpjet propulsor and X tail configuration but the builder opted to make only the lower fins movable ( with separate control surfaces), essentially an inverted V tail.
Still need a mixer to control the dive planes but it eliminates the need for the binding yoke simplifying construction.
Does the fixed top dive planes have a countering effect when turning?
