How about this topic

Has anyone put Vortex Generators on their flaperons?
What was the outcome?

I put on Vgs last fall, really not alot of gain but I have not taken them off yet . I have on Wings only. I will tell you that they have reduced the buffet prior to power on stalls and made power off stalls pretty well just a controlled mush.

Kitfox is pretty well equipped with stock wings, VGs ok but not nesessary for great STOL performance.

You guys should get some videos of your Kitfox in Action no matter if a 100 foot take off or 700 foot like some of the heavy ones.

are you talking about actually putting the VGs on the flaperons in addition to putting them on the wings? I wonder if that would do anything to help the control reversal?
