MTK, I take your comments about CG latitude to mean you've experienced a reduction in the acceptable latitude due to the anhedriel stabs, ie. needing the CG farther forward? That's very interesting, and wonder if that comment is similar to the few comments about ''locking on'' which is often related to CG location.

Cross wind conditions will hit the affected stab half and will pitch the model. If CG is a little aft, the pitch effect is exagerated causing the model to wander and feel very uncertain: upright flight pitches the model up and inverted flight pitches the model down. That doesn't happen with flat stabs, at least nowhere near as severely.
I like the looks of the anhedral stab but not its aerodynamic effect. It is very strange to have the same model in the same flight trim condition fly so differently in wind down the runway and in cross wind.
A fore CG is necessary for reasonable flight trim with any model but for the anhedral stabbed model one has no latitude to explore other locations to fit his style and preferences.....Good luck!
