Default RE: V-Tail control surface proportioning

I'm not sure of the exact formula - if there is one - but they are usually called "ruddervators".

I would guess that the "V" surfaces would need to be slightly larger than the conventional elevator/stab; at least so that the same area is "projected" by the new surfaces.
