Richard,Yes it will produce some lift, but in the wrong direction that you wouldwant.You could do like Pfalz did with theirs back in 1917 and mount it so thecurveis down, since you want to generate a downward force to counter the wingsefforts at raising the tail in flight.The other choice is to carefully disassemble it and start over... sigh.Or make a new one.RodgerJust heading out to continue the Piet in progress________________________________________________________________________________
