You have to come up with a solution for the hover, high power climb, low power descent and the cruise, each of which will have differing airflows over the tail and tail boom so it's probably a bit of a fudge.

To quote Ray 'What you gain in the hover you lose in forward flight and vice versa' with regard to tweaking designs.
