Hi guys :
What would be my tail horizontal and vertical stabilizer areas compared to wing area?
My wing area is about 100 ft2. I found in the net that the tail horizontal stab is about 25-30% of the wing area. And the vertical stab is only 60% of the horizont
I know it depends on the distance between main wing and tail wing, the longer the distance , the smaller area of tail horizontal stab.
What I need is average estimation.
Or what someone calls rule of thumb for tail stab area.

Your help is highly appreciated.
