REFLECTOR: Elevator Cuffs

[Scott Derrick]

Joe,

I went from Cuff's No VG's, to No Cuff's No VG's, to No Cuff's and VG's.

The first had gentle stall but reduced lift, second had the classic 
pitch buck stall(porpoising) and better lift, the last had the same 
stall characteristics and even better lift.  The last is my preferred 
configuration.

You are putting VG's on the main wing too, right?  VG's just on the 
canard would be a big no-no.
