Hi Guys,
How crucial is the location of the 'T' on the fuselage. Looking at many photos it seems the placement can vary from above (or even forward of) the CG to behind the wing TE. Also,
how significant is the height of the canalizer/winglet above the fuselage and/or wing C/L?
Thanks!

PS wind tunnel testing would be terrific, but who has access to one for free...? We need a graduate aerodynamics student to do his thesis on the 'T', there are certainly a lot of potential variables.
