Default RE: Senior Telemaster info

Here's another Senior Telemaster question:

I am building one (it's only taken me about 20 years and perhaps 50 other aircraft to finally get around to building this classic). I made the stab and fin each detachable, partly for transportability and partly to possible experimentation in the future.

Has anyone built one with a symmetrical horizontal stabilizer? If so, what difference did/would it make?

In a normally configured aircraft, the tail has to product downthrust. So, I have to wonder why the Telemaster has a "lifting" tailplane, instead of a neutral (flat) surface or a symmetrical section.
