The slotted flaps on the ES have a pivot point that is quite far back. the flaps move back about three inches when deployed, giving you most of the advantages of fowler flaps without the complexity. Lance Neibauer e-mailed me about two weeks ago, and and stated that Lancair has tested vortex generators on both the IV and the ES, and that it lowered the the stall speed by up to 10 knots. They will also lower your top speed, but for me that's a very small price to pay. He also said that Orin at Lancair could tell you where to place them and how many. If your about to mount your flap hinges in your wings, it might be helpful for you to know that the hinge angles stated in the manual are not achievable. So don't waist your time trying to figure out what your doing wrong. You will have to set your own angles.
