During one of the recent discussions about VGs someone suggested a video of a wing with tufts w/ and w/o VGs installed. Here is a link to a page with two videos. First one is with VGs on outboard portion only. Second is with VGs full span.
This is NOT an invitaion to rekindle the discussion, merely a link to a couple videos.

That is a very good link Thom, not only is there a video, there is also a good article on VG's effects. I find it interesting that the author has had the same experience of improving their planes landing characteristics. Below is an excerpt from the article.
" Easier Landings
This video dramatically demonstrates how it is that VGs give the soft, gentle stall that makes landings so much easier! Imagine you are flaring for a landing and are still a bit too high when the wing stalls. Wouldn’t you rather have the stall start by just ‘nibbling’ at the root rather than suddenly stalling most of the wing at once???
Settle on gently rather than come down with a thump!! "
The VG discussion has been very useful, based on some of the emails I have gotten, it has convinced a few more Kolb Flyers to try VG's. We have helped some people improve their planes, I would call the VG threads a huge success. If some are threatened and upset by good information that helps people improve their Kolbs, then shame on them. For those few that want to suppress this information by claiming to be " Tired of the discussion " , be adult enough to just not click on the VG thread instead of whining and complaining. If more information about VG's can help more people on this list improve their Kolbs, then it should be discussed.
