Hey Q2,
The T-tail was an attempt by QAC to fix the ground handling problem with an aerodynamic "add-on." Ultimately it didn't fix the ground handling, but it did succeed in adding drag.

In 1996 the correct fix for the ground handling problem was the "Jim-Bob six pack" including especially, the "David Gall wheel alignment" and the "Aileron Reflexor."

So my two cents is that you probably shouldn't go down the "T-tail" road. (Take that for what it's worth though. . . maybe less than two cents.) :)

Hope this helps, please let me know.

Thanks,
