I am unsure the benefits of STRUT further back from F wing T E as the load on the fuse there is great concerning D I Y.
One would need to be sure of strength there!
Have seen breakage there more than once.
Have strong feeling your T bar will be "loose" meaning yaw will be sensitive and fast due to less R wing (stab) up swept surface area.
And more stab vertical surface area can compensate for Strut L E mounted very close if not directly above F wing T E.
It seems logical that the Strut will act as a "rudder" or long vertical fin and further back should add "tracking" and yaw stability, but turn less sharp.
The relationship between the distance between Strut L E and F wing T E AND the amount of surface area, shape, up swept (if any) of a stab, wing tip angle and area is quite a challenge.
Very interesting to see some builds with completely flat wings and Strut mounted L E directly over F wing T E, talk about sensitive and responsive again depending on surface area relationships, but still a quick fast fly!

Credit to Christoff South Africa for this design if I recall OK. He also had a dedicated K B H F forum at one time.
This always interested me and sure wish I could have test flown it as flat wings are SO much easier to fabricate using thick glass as a mould base.
But note the vertical surface area.
Gotta go eat...
