Never heard of it before. VG's for the lift struts huh? Wup, why don't you be the guniea pig? Get some accurate indicated airspeeds at a couple of density altitudes, set power of course.
I'm going to do that with the Microaerodynamics VG's, No test boom or certified instruments of course, Just gonna probably waste my time re-hashing old established data, but I'm hard headed that way.

Yep, VG's are a must!!! the main thing that interested me on the Vortelator tape is the bennies for the Prop efficiency in climb out and cruze.

I will put it on and get back with the results... (it is gunna be a little while before I get a chance to do it)
