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?



The top side is the low pressure side Bob!

I don't think so, as the tail of just about every airplane or glider has
a download. That's how they achieve stability. So it's backward at the
tail, the top surface is indeed the high-pressure side.
