It is simple, I had a highly modified gentle lady with HUGE full flying
V tails. I had a v shaped music wire in the tail section and the tail
surfaces had brass tubing in them at around 28% from the LE.
The horns stood straight up and the pushrods (Ti welding rod)
exited the fuselage about 3" in front of the horns. The rods had
z bends and also kept the tails on. They would fly off in a hard landing
though, but this saved them from breaking. The tails were so big
that the plane could do very nice slow flat turns.
