I finally got some VG's from Joa Harrison.  I am excited about getting them on and seeing what improvements result.  I figure that after 8 years I have flown enough that I will notice any differences.

 



Does anyone have any words of wisdom on placement beyond Joa's instructions?  Are there any places on a series 5,7, sport that would benefit from VG's?  I have been  wondering about putting some on the back edge of the doors.  I would like to do something to clean up the area under the cockpit.  - Gear etc.  It is a very areodynamically "dirty" area and other than covering it like Lowell did, I don't know what could help.

 



Any input appreciated.

Will be interested in your results. 

  

Installed Joa's VG a couple of years ago and saw 3-4 mph decrease in stall speed and about 2 mph increase incruise.  The last figure I reasoned was because the increase lift allowed for a little down trim for straight and level. 

  

more stable on slow approach 

  

have not experimented with "Valez" type laning while on the back side of the power curve.
