Default "Bird" modifications

Months ago I read a thread about someone modifying a 'bird' V-tail to have an added"down" control. I can't find that thread. Has anyone done a modification to their v-tail by taking the elevator surfaces apart so that they don't 'stop' when they are level with the rest of the tail and can actually go down a little bit. My idea is that when I go into a turn the plane wants to climb into a stall. If the opposite elevator goes down this might counteract that climb (and make the plane roll fast!)

Anyone done that or anything like it?
