REFLECTOR: Velocity SE wing vs. Long-EZ wing

And as I understand it, Danny Maher also commissioned a NASA engineer to develop a canard airfoil that would not loose lift in the rain.  It works - I have never had a problem - even in a very heavy rain.

  Velocity went through an extensive test and development program to remove deep stall.  The result was a modified wing shape for the Velocity.

  It would be interesting to know if it is based on the GU vs Roncz canard

  As far as I know the the main wing airfoil is the same on all the canards, EZ, Cozy, Velocity...

  I'm not sure about the canard airfoil..

  You will find the Cozy III will have the same wing as the Long EZ.
The Cozy IV and the Velo SE are a larger wing then the Long EZ.
    
The Cozy IV has the same exact airfoil as the Cozy III and Long-EZ, but
the mounting has been changed with the Cozy IV.  I'm wondering (for
historical purposes) if the same is true with the early/first Velocity
aircraft designs -- the ones that evolved from the Long-EZ design.
Anyone know?
