Continuing discussion of stabilators/all-flying stabilizers from the "Elevator protruding at large deflection" thread. Perhaps a moderator can move the other similar posts here? :)

Would it be possible to find one Schleicher Ka6E sailplane close nearby and install servos first to see how it behaves?

Not practical. A mod like that would require a bunch of paperwork and a signoff by an A&P IA.

I just discovered that Mechanics of Flight by Warren Phillips discusses stability and control for aircraft with a stabilator, so I'm going to be picking up a copy of that.
