Default RE: lifting tail

Now tell me why that will not work with facts.
OK. Try it yourself. Put in a few clicks of down trim. Now your horizontal tail surfaces have a slight lifting (indeed, undercambered) airfoil. Will this solve the problem? Of course not, because it will be way out of trim for your normal cruise speed. You can't just add a lifting airfoil without changing some of the other things you don't want us to talk about.
