On my first RV-3, VG's were placed in pairs about 6" apart and 6" aft of
leading edge forward of the ailerons. Did this to improve stability
through the stall. It slowed the stall about 4 mph as well. Have
been going to play with VG's on the current 3 to reduce the sink rate at
low approach speeds but have not been able to find the small T bar as
the plastic angle used previously was not "flyin proof".
Hi
Rich,
Very
interesting about the VG's. I've hear others talk about using these to
reduce stall speed, but always wondered how much of that was true. Try to
get all the details worked out by the time I need it
:-)
When does the kit start
arriving?
Since
I'm not a complete masochist, I ordered the quickbuild wing option. As I
understand it, the empennage will arrive in just a couple weeks, and the
standard wing and fuselage kits take 6-8 weeks. When the standard kits are
ready, they will send me the fuselage kit, including the fuselage parts
that are normally included in the wing kit. They will then send the wing
kit to their QB folks in the Philippines, and I won't get the nearly
completed wings back for 4-5 months. My goal will be to try to have the
fuselage ready to mate the wings by the time they return, but that's
pretty optimistic for a non-pre-punched kit.
