Another thing to keep in mind with regard to the use of VG's is that careful placement is required for them to have the greatest benefit. This, unless your aircraft is mass produced and not "unique", is achieved by a lot (read hundreds of hours of placing, documenting, moving, rinse, repeat) of trial and error. The other thing to consider is that the KR's wing is more than capable of the job you're asking of it without the addition of VG's (bear in mind here I've not flown a KR outside of X-Plane yet and I'm only speaking from an aerodynamic standpoint). If I read correctly, you have no flaps nor belly board. I've a preference to flaps but either will help you to reduce those numbers without going to the effort of adding VG's and in less overall time, how long would it take to retro fit a set of flaps?. I'm also little skeptical of the no top end speed loss claim since VG's do create drag by their nature.

I want it. What is the next step? If I buy them how do I fit it or does it come with instructions? Hi Robert there is no link. I'll check out barnstomers .com regards and thanks to all.
