  Nice  :aok

   Question about the Bonanza, How does the controls handle the V tail? Do the two rear control surfaces move independent of each other? Why don't we see any other aircraft with this configuration? I've heard it can be a tricky plane on landing.

It is a little more complexly rigged though it handles wonderfully. Easiest landing plane I've ever owned, though she does a little waggle in full dirty configuration which can be unsettling to the uninitiated. Apparently the conventional tail Bonanza's do the same. In very high G, in over red line speed the tail will fail first. This gave it a bad reputation though over 8,000 were built and most are still flying without problems.

Not really sure why V-tails are not more widely produced.
