Berni,
    caveat: I'm not an aerodynamics guy.   but I did ask one about this mod and the response was that you would not feel much difference at low yaw angles but that it might remain effective at higher yaw angles than the stock vstab.
    I can also say that Mike Custard tends not to put them on anymore, now that he has the ventral fin.
 
    one open item, however, is the possibility of extending the rudder.   In theory, the bottom of the rudder is in cleaner air at high angles of attack.   If you pursue that route you might want to do something different with the ventral fin.
