Default RE: Vee Tail sizing

Yes, dutch roll is a function of improper vertical stabilizer area.

It is possible that the 20% increase in area would be too much and induce a bit of dutch roll. But that is MUCH prefered to having inadequate area, and an unstable aircraft. Dutch roll tends to only be a problem within one portion of an aircraft's speed range (a lot of models have some show up durring take-off climb)
