V-Tail dimentions

[GNieuwoudt]

I want to build a V-tail for a 3.2m thermal glider. Can someone please help me with dimentions, typically used. (root and tip cord, span , hidge line)

Cheers

I was a little slow but I finally got around to answering this question in the Mantis Forum;

Of course those dimensions are just what are used on the Mantis. For some other model you would want to consider other things such as tail moment and that would be a question for the theorists.
