It's probably worth noting that the CH-750, while it is not a T-tail, it does have the elevator mounted relatively high causing to display some of the characteristics of a T-tailed aircraft. FWIW, the Tomahawks are remembered as difficult handling aircraft not because they were difficult to handle, but because it was students that were flying them. -Jeff _______________________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/.
