The Lifting Stab Myth

Today's topic comes to us courtesy of DJ Aerotech. We hear a lot of discussion regarding "Lifting Stabs" in the OT community but it's not really discussed among people who fly R/C gliders or full size aircraft. Perhaps, it only had value to these designs as a contributor to their flight patterns in the Freeflight mode but is really a detriment in the glide?

Ron Monsen is an American who plays with Model Airplanes in the Sandbox and he offers more insight on this topic.
