Default Mylar seals for elevator

It seems to me that Mylar may only be necessary on the top of the
stab/elevator, since the top surface is the high pressure side. Has anyone
tried this?

I believe the main purpose of adding Mylar is to reduce drag, but if
you want added control authority, one can think about the combination
of Mylar and zig-zag. I use it on most rudders, but be careful adding
zig-zag to the elevator. I did on my LS-7 and the stall was the mose
abrupt I have ever seen..................took off the zig-zag!
Cheers,
JJ
