G-forces are directly related to weight. Since the size of the
control surface is directly related to the forces exerted on it,
control surfaces are dependent on weight.

Sorry, you lost me. The forces exerted on the control surfaces are
going to depend on airspeed and angle of deflection.

The size of control surfaces is irrelevant in this discussion, since
they are fixed at design time.
