Lots of the pattern guys are adding what they call '' Cantalizers ''. This is nothing more then a stub wing placed right behind the canopy. It is intended to straiten out the spiral slipstream before it reaches the tail. I would have to think that if it didn't work then it would not be so commonly used. Then again this is R/C and I have seen lots of fads come and go.
Ah the Cantilizer -
What it CAN do is stop air from spilling over the top of the fuselage in knife or extreme yaw-and that can be a good thing-
the spiral correction - I seriously doubt but an improvement from trapping flow - I will buy
As for "follow the leader " in Pattern - it is quite common.
