Default RE: V-Tail Incidence

If the vtail saddle is parallel to the wing, you will have a negative incidence at the tail (assuming your fuselage tapers.) The vtail saddle should look like it has a noticeable amount of positive incidence. You have to account for the v-tail falling deeper into the fuselage as it widens. It is like the old toy where you slowly moved the steel rods apart to get the ball to roll uphill.
