Default RE: New plane out of foam

If I'm doin the math right (referring to the How to's of scratch building thread)
With a 16X48 wing 768 sq. in.
My stab should be 109 sq in
elevator should be 60 sq
fin should be 40 sq
rudder should be 22 sq

I don't understand
aspect ratio
MAC
tail moment arm
nose moment arm

But I'm learnin.
