V Tail Quad

[lpd]

Hi
I guess this would be a build discussion. I want to build a V Tail Quadcopter and have a few questions. I've built my own homemade quad already and it flies pretty good. Does anyone know if rear motors have to be at a certain angle from each other. I know they need to be 30-40 degrees offset from vertical. I've also seen some that were very similar to an H or A quad configuration. Any measurements or plans greatly appreciated.
Thx
Lonnie

By the way, that's my quad as avatar.

Nice copter! I've never really read much about v-tails, but they sure do look cool. What's the advantage? Are they more agile like a tricopter?

Check this out and watch the video. He talks about the angle briefly. I guess you set the angle in your board? Or maybe V-tail ready boards require a certain angle if you choose a vtail setup.
