I agree with Tom--- I don't want to argue with anyone either. This slat/ vg talk is starting to join the "green scotchbrite" thread. It was all discused several weeks ago. Apparently it was started by someone flying without slats. (they already had the answers to the questions they posted) Everyone gave their inputs and than the subject finally died down. Now it was brought up again by the same persons post explaining how he made "fools out of everyone" (paraphased).
Bottom line is, there are performance changes to the aircraft when taking the slats off. This has been well documented by those who hae done it. The question is: Do you fly without slats, install vg's or leave the slats on ?? We'll never agree on this topic, all aspects have been covered, so why not drop the subject. I suspect those trying to keep it alive are the ones trying to promote their VG business.
I do feel that all those folks flying a CH 701 designed by Chris Heintz without the slats (major modification) post their name, aircraft serial number, and aircraft registration number to this site so that the insurance companies can be aware of what is going on. Maybe one of you CH-701 drivers could call your insurance company, get the facts and than post them here. (I understand some folks fly without insurance--- that's their business)
Yes we are flying Experimental aircraft and I respect that, but, it is no longer a "CH 701" once you take the slats off and you shouldn't be telling your insurance company that it is.

I only have one question for those who have removed the slats. Has there been any change in the way the plane glides? The 701 has been notorious for steep rate of glide... at least in this neck of the woods.
