I have them on my KR-2 and here's what I got Before the VG's we were getting @ 49.3 kts CAS early in the test flight program at a weight of @ 975 lbs. We re-tested with the VG's and were able to demonstrate a 44.7 kt stall at 1000 lbs. and 44.1 kt at 1130 lbs. So we got an 5 kt improvement or about 11%. I have my gross weight at 1150 lbs. No noticeable effect on the top end and the airelons are effective all through the flight range - the VG's were placed at 10% of the chord. I bought them from Landshorter.com.

Research on my end seems to indicate that there is no impact to high speed flight, but significant improvement in low speed handling and a reduced stall speed. Anyone have any thoughts?
