Other control factors

The V-tailed BE35 Bonanza had other factors not mentioned here:-

The tail fish-tailed so much, that the passengers became air-sick.
To assist, the factory eventually installed a yaw-damper!

With a cross-wind from the left, it ran out of " rudder" during take-off,
so much that one could depart off the runway!
