Dan is right, it is very much a compromise. With it at right angles to the blades you will have quite a big error in tracking the wind and most likely it will be such that you notice the loss. Even with it at 120 deg you will have an error but probably not to the extent that you will notice it.
To eliminate this error completely the tail needs to be very big and you will need more than 120 deg, but you reach a point where it looks silly and the gain is negligible.
For peace of mind, don't mount a right furling and a left furling machine within site of each other, otherwise you realise that this error is much more than you expect and it does look silly indeed.
If the blades are within 30 deg of the direct wind direction you will see little difference in performance but having two machines with a 30 deg error either side of the true wind looks dreadful.
