I did some stall testing with another stabilizer-elevator plane prototype
many years ago and found that the stab ilizer stalls a few degrees AOA after
the wing stalls... and that slowed the recovery (to a lower wing AOA) a lot.
I added slats to the stabilizer and it greatly increased the pitch
authority, to return the wing's AOA to an unstalled AOA. Has Lancair looked
at stabilizer stall at higher wing-AOA? Might be a good idea to avoid
high-AOA stalls if this hasn't ben investigated, imho, and install an AOA
isntrument or indicator.
