Agreed with the v tail. Because the motors tilt forward instead of lean forward like your typical drone should i make the battery shift its COG?

So generally yes, this form factor can fly. The tail feathers are critical to stabilizing flight and might should be bigger from the flying models I've seen (pictured). IMO
