If the center of gravity were here then it would pitch upward

If the vertical stabilizer is this size then it will not catch air and will yaw/roll (turn right/left)

If the center of gravity were here then it would not pitch up/down, but fly straight

Horizontal stabilizer

If the center of gravity were here then it would pitch downward

If the horizontal stabilizer is this size then it will pitch upward because it is too heavy

If the vertical stabilizer is this size then it will pitch upward because it is too heavy

Recommended size of horizontal stabilizer for a stable flight

If the horizontal stabilizer is this size then it will not catch air and will pitch up and down

Vertical stabilizer

Recommended size of vertical stabilizer for a stable flight

controls yaw and roll (left and right motion)

10-20% of the horizontal stabilizer size

30-50% of the wing area

10-15% of the wing area

20-25% of the wing area

30-50% of the horizontal stabilizer size

controls pitch (up and down motion)

60-70% of the horizontal stabilizer size
