Factors affecting the design of a control surface are:
1) Control Effectiveness
2) Hinge moments
3) Aerodynamic and mass balancing
1) Control Effectiveness
Is a measure of how effective the control deflection is in producing the desired control
moment
2) Hinge Moment
The aerodynamic moment that must be overcome to rotate the control surface

The difference between the “stick fixed” and “stick free” neutral points:
The value of the “f” parameter determines the position of the “stick constant”
neutral point according to “stick free” neutral point.
Static Margin: distance between the neutral point and the actual center of gravity position.
