You may have noticed that a new gyro, the diNelly, is being constructed that sports a V-tail.
You can see a picture here if you scroll down to the diNelly page. Or on their own page http://www.dinelly.com/ .
The Beech Bonanza with the V-tail used to be called "doctor killer", but in a fixed wing, a V-tail makes at least some sense (weight).
Yet I am wondering what good such a device could do on a gyro that does need a (big) horizontal stabilizer but where elevators are useless - at the best.
Any opinions on that design idea?
