Hello,I am new to this Forum. Could you comment on the trailing edge shape of an elevator and how it changes the control feel and drag of the airfoil.I am building a Cozy MK IV and will be constructing the canard elevators soon.Plans show a reflex in the top surface of the elevator and a TE shape that is square and about .100 inch blunt. I will build it per plans... but I would like to understand the concept better.
