This article is IMPORTANT. I recommend you save it, read it, and learn it.

This article is saying you can reduce drag 40 percent by making a tail. And the tail does not have to be very long.

And according to them, 20 degrees is about the absolute max, and even at that you are going to have problems with the bottom, but it is still worth it.

This article is worth SAVING.
