Default RE: two airfoils on one wing

Last night as I worked on the design after getting back from the field I have decided to scrap the use of a reflexed foil on the wingtip. This is not going to be a flying wing per say so using the reflex at the tip is not going to be of much use. On top of this this sill be so lightly loaded that the landing should be very tame. I do have one additional question on Jacks Northrop's original flying wing when it got into ground effect it would stay there for a long time, does anyone know what they did to resolve this?
I think I might see the same thing and was thinking about adding a spoiler/airbrake on top of the fuse to get it on the ground.
