Don't worry I'm not going to try to sell you anything that supposedly makes any of your body parts larger (or smaller) and this product is directly aviation related :) I'm just an airplane builder, owner, pilot, and aviation nut who wants to tell you where you can find more information about a great new product. I've been selling kits of vortex generators (VG's) for only $95 and my customers are telling me they really like the performance gains they're seeing. VG's are great for reducing stall speeds and allow you to land slower, shorter, and safer. I invite you to check out my site at www.landshorter.com and see what you think. My VG's can be quickly installed for testing using removable double-stick tape and come with a 100% money-back guarantee so why not try them out on your plane? You'll be really glad you did :) Thanks and let's keep 'em flying!

JUst thinking through the concept on a Glasair wing....the airsteam stays attached until pretty far back while in cruise and becomes unattached fairly quickly from a point much farther forward at stall. Is it possible for VG to decrease stall speed (at 10% of chord) without increasing drag at cruise speed? I am not so much trying to critique the concept as to find out if anybody has had an increase in speed on an already fast wing. Robin Young 286YM....Glasair TD
