IMHO, the lack of thin enough servos for the tail to remain aerod. gives this design a
black eye. The recommended Volz stick up above the surface. They do provide nifty
servo covers, but does the end justify the means. Obv. I am not a fan of this design.

So does the V-tail on the new Starlight 3000, as does the Wizard Compact II,

Ya, but pulling them off the Organic and Graphite was such a pain
that I always left them mounted. I still have the Organic, I never
take off the V. The only V that really broke down nicely that I own
is the Cobra. (But I don't fly it much anymore)
My D-box Graphite(e-version) has the pockets in the stab for servos.
So the stab has only electrical connector but not the mechanical
linkages.
My whole Graphite can fit in a Pelican box (52 x 15x 5). The
electric version, the fuselage is in two halves. When the electric
nose come off, there is nothing in front of the wing.
