O.K., now I've seen several references to strakes that were/are applied to
the LNC2 and I would certainly like more information on them.  I know that
Dick Reichel has designed strakes and has flown quite some time with them
but I have never had the good fortune to see them or to talk with anyone who
has seen them.

My LNC2 is stable, fast and thoroughly enjoyable.  It has been weighed seven
or eight times to determine its CG and the CG is definitely in the box.
Nevertheless, it has an annoying habit of bobbing when near gross and
especially in turbulent or convectional weather and I believe that it would
fly more controllably if it had strakes which act to increase the total
surface area of the horizontal stab.

The info that I need is length, width, angle, plys required, and what foam,
if any.  Pictures would help as would pireps.  Anyone?   Thanks.
