Wouldn't you want the two tail sections connected at the end to help with stability light in the P38 Fighter?
It appears to me that if this new plane was flying you could get a situation were one or both tail sections could oscillate and shake the whole thing apart.

But the pretty animation shows perfect stability. Must not be a problem.

With computerized FBW tech, any oscillations would be detected and damped out by the elevators.
