Fixed vs All Flying tail
Apart from the *better* handling of a fixed tailplane,
is there any aerodynamic advantage of a fixed tail/elevator over an all flying tail? I can't help feeling that when the stick's not in the middle the fixed tail/elevator looks less efficient (And I used to prefer the light stick forces and not needing to constantly re-trim, when I flew a Cirrus, rather than the Discus I have to put up with these days - but NO I'm not offering to swap :-) ) Kevin |
