Default RE: Horizontal tail (beginner question)

Yes, I see your point. After reading through some of the treads hear I (luckily) saw that the main wing should have i slight up anglecompeered to the tail (think it´s calledlongitude dihedral).

But would it be over sensitive to elevator input if theentire horizontal tail would act as a elevator?
The way I have started to build this plane enables me to put (forexample) a aluminium-tube straight through the body with thelever on the inside.
So I can make it durable enough to both fix and control both sides,but will it becontrollable in the air with that?

I wasleaning towards NACA-0006as the airfoil to be used there, or maybe some-on has a better idea...
