T-tail

Refers to a stabilizer that is mounted on top of the fin. This brings the stabilizer away from the turbulent airflow of the wing and makes pitch control more responsive. It also gets the stabilizer out of harm's way when landing on rough terrain. The T-tail construction is usually more fragile than the conventional tail and is more difficult to build.
