I think what that person might have meant was, your total gain from the tail really will be 20 to 30%, but because rolling drag and air drag are equally split regarding affect on the vehicle, the aero benefit is cut in half, so you end up with an effective gain of 10 to 15% from the aero side of things.

Well one big piece of advise I can give is make sure your overall body shape matches the AeroHead template. I worked over these numbers with Phil quite a bit. Look on the following page for more info...

That thread talks about the streamlining template quite a bit, so take a close look before making your final design.
