I've chosen my layout, my airfoils, my tail volume and my flight envelope & done some basic stability calcs and it all checks out... So now I can start analysing structures in some more detail!
For a conservative first pass on the horizontal tail structure can I just run a Schrenk analysis on it at it's Clmax with +/- control deflections at Va/ 1/3rd at Vne or is there a more standard method of approximating?
I figure this method will give me something quite overbuilt but if it's within the minimum material gauges I've set out I can leave it at that.
