<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I took this myth to town last year and built an
adjustable incidence canalizer, then took notes on the effects at various
incidences and when placed in different locations (overthe CG, back of the
wing). Effects range from nothing to dramatic. Short version of the
results: I left mine at 4.5 degrees neg and placed midway between the CG
and the TE. It completely changed my wing incidence and CG, but in the end it
helped it lock on horizontal lines and reduced pitch mix with this setup.
Other placements/incidences had other effects. There is no one answer and each
plane has different "weaknesses" to be addressed. It's a valuable tool,
but one that is somewhat speed dependent and the worst thing about it is the
down side effect when flying in a quartering wind. I think of it as the
immaculate band-aid and use it as a diagnostic tool in my airframe
designing.</FONT></DIV>

<P>Any experience and recommendations is welcome. Any explanation how it
works? I have seen some that just install a flat piece without the small
wing. Anyone has done both and compare.</P>
