I have to put my thinking cap on because its been years since I worked with VG's and that was on my Varieze and the VG's helped with keeping airflow layer separation from occurring on the airfoil. This as I recall was done to help the Varieze fly better with leading edge bug contamination and rain. Therefore making the airfoil less susceptible to stall by keeping airflow attached to the wing. Did I say that right?
Now, as far as placing VG's on the underside of the elevator to help with pitch sensitivity? I am not sure I understand the dynamics of how that would help with pitch sensitivity. I can understand how lengthening the horizontal stab would help. I believe there are a number of people who have lengthened their horizontal stab with good results.

Answer is just my way of thinking, not a technical one. Are the KR's a sensitive aircraft by nature?
