Hi Willie,
There are plenty of expensive ways to reduce your landing distance,
however Mark Langford summed it up perfectly - speed control.
Excuse me I only work in knots, so here are the numbers,
90 mph = 78 knots
Stall speed is probably 45knots, so using the conservative rule, approach
speed
The VGs come with a template and instructions and are attached with super
glue, installation time is about 1 hr. Lot easier than building flaps or speed
brake. They DO NOT REDUCE CRUISE SPEED and there 100.00 for everything.

I dug into my paperwork and got the info on my VGs.

Hi Willie
The price is $100.00 for 100 VGs and there is no tax or shipping they come
in a envelope but don,t let that fool you those suckers work. There are
directions and a template so you can't go wrong.
Have a Good One

Today was the 4th flight with "shreg" and it ended in the felt on the extended
runway. I came in on finals and did a side slip in a 75 degree X-wind. The
speed was down to 90 mph when I crossed the fence and I was about 1m above the
runway over the numbers. I was hoping to loose the extra 10 mph

Thanks Mark
I am going to do just that and will let you know what the results are.

Reduce your approach speed !! If it wanted to fly at 60, then
approach near there.

Well, no expert here either. I had a good bit of time in a KR many years
ago, but only about 2.5 in this one. On my first flight, I kept slowing it
down at 1500 ft, I would go to 3000 but the airspace limited me to 1800, to
65 mph, and flew it there for a while to get a feel of it. That seemed s
