Most of the discussions going on about the VG are in regard to their use on the bigger Kolbs, Mk III, and Twinstar. Does anyone use them on a Firestar 1? Would the the same benefits be realized on a Kolb that weighs 300 Lbs (empty) and stalls 28-30mph? I'd like to climb faster, fly slower, take off shorter, land softer too! -John

Look at "Vortex Generators" on:

These pages describe my experience with VG's on a FireFly.

If you are not sure about using VG's, put them on with double sided automobile trim tape and try them out... That way you can use mineral spirits to get them off if you want and no harm done. Make sure you put the VG's on exactly per the instructions, position and angle are CRITICAL for them to work well.
