If you are truly fearful, and fear a trip to "jail", do not wear shoelaces, belts, or ropish jewelry.

"contribution" may be positive or negative, but wing-body doesn't include it, whichever it is.
What about the area of the tailplane that transsects the fuselage?
Because it's generally a wind tunnel test thing, and you simply leave the tailplane (and indeed, anything else that takes your fancy) off the model.
Even when the tail IS fitted, wind tunnel models aren't (usually) tested with trimmed tailplanes, but rather with a range of tailplane angles to enable the tail effectiveness to be determined, so there certainly will be cases of both upload and download in most tunnel test sets.
Aren't there issues with scaling effects?
