 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.
