For reasons of simplicity I am contemplating a stabilator without an anti-servo tab. The stabilator will pivot about the quarter chord point. All the stick forces and trimming will be provided solely by bungee chord attached to stick. I am aware the cri-cri incorporates such a scheme; any other examples?

The stick forces will get lighter with speed as opposed to heavier in such a scheme, having never piloted an aircraft with such a scheme I am curious to know comments from those that have flown such a set up.
