satinet Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The prototype was on rc networ a while ago. Very cool looking model. More tempting to me than the x tail 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted November 4, 2017 Author Share Posted November 4, 2017 Also it now has a proper nose cone instead of that small window underneath. One of them has to go on my Crimbo list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilentPilot Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I try to avoid V tails if I can! This does look nice but I’d still prefer the X tail 115 if I could afford one Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does look nice but I’d still prefer the X tail 115 if I could afford one Tony What's your reason for avoiding V tails Tony? I personally think they look better and are stronger than a X. I've owned two X tails with full moving tails and have never been happy with the way the two half of elevator just slide on. It's always been a weak point as well as a right pain to repair if you damage it. Give me a V over X every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentPilot Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 I like the slide on removable tails. I just prefer the layout I guess. If a V comes along at the right price though I’m interested! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oipigface Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 V for Vracing (less drag). T for Taerobatics (better control). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T for Taerobatics (better control). and X for X...(thermal soaring) Maybe this will rejuvenate the N100 - Mr.O can probably make it go even faster than ballistic on the Typhoon slope. Mike Shellim has been doing really well with V-tail N115 this year - the X-tail N115 seemed to go out of fashion pretty quickly Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
