The version that began mass production four months ago has gained great popularity for its excellent flight characteristics. 
A big advantage is the possibility of landing in higher grass and on unimproved terrain compared to the X-tail.
The connection of pushrods to the vtail control surfaces is made using massive ball pins, which are conveniently placed on the pin attached to the control surface horns. Good resolution of pitch is very important, so long control horns on the vtail control surface were designed. For this reason, the rear part of the fuselage had to be slightly inflated aerodynamically, but the resulting precise resolution of the V-tail control surface will be appreciated by everyone. The front of the fuselage is identical to the X-tail version, so it is fully interchangeable.
Some customers ask whether to order the X-tail or V-tail version. Handling and flight performance are very similar, therefore it rather depends on personal preferences and especially the terrain on which the model will land.

According to this year's results, it appears that the V-tail version is even slightly faster than the X-tail version.
On WCH GPS-SPORT 2024 there were four best pilots with the fastest average speed with the PIKE PARADIGM in the speed task, three of them with the V-tail version
Andreas Kunz 153.1 km/h – PIKE PARADIGM V-tail
Florian Griese 152,0 km/h - PIKE PARADIGM V-tail
Benjamin Dähn 151.1 km/h - PIKE PARADIGM V-tail
Philip Kolb 151 km/h - PIKE PARADIGM X-tail

A new world record in the GPS SPORT speed task set at the competition GPS SPORT in Jaroměř (2024) CZE was set by Ralph Losemann GER 169.5 km/h - with PIKE PARADIGM X-tail

A new world record in the speed task in the GPS triangle League was flown this year by Benjamin Dähn 179.1 km/h - with PIKE PARADIGM V-tail
