I flew Beech 18's for some time and those small twin tails where not much help at low speed...

The pic below is a tradewind conversion twin beech with the tall single tail.

Horrible look but VMC listed at 74KTS.

Versus the various original twin tails models which had their fluctuates between 89 and 91 kts as per the manuals.



See, looks doesn't matter it's all about the size
