Default Enlarging the tailplane..

If you take a well balanced,plane - say, an Ugly STIK and you intentionally enlarge the tailplane double the size as follows:

1. Making it wider - i.e. longer parallel with the main wing, re-balance it- how will it fly? (take offs, stalls, landings, rolls etc.?)

2. Using the same plane, but this time keeping the width as it originally was, but making the tailplane longer in respect to the fuselage and re-balanceit- how will it fly? (take offs, stalls, landings, rolls etc.?)

Anybody tried it?


Cheers
