Scott;
They go on the rear of the tail with the VGs 4" in front of the gap betwe
en the elevator and the stabilizer. Here is an image of where they go looki
ng up at the tail. I only had 4 VGs left over when the job was completed. I
will take a picture and post it on my web page. Remember, they go on the B
OTTOM of the tail.

Where did you put them? On the leading edge or back near the ele
vator?
Sounds like a good idea.

All;
I installed Vortex generators on the bottom of my KIS4 elevator
It made no difference on climb or cruise that I could tell but on a BIG d
ifference on approach and landing. I had a significant increase in elevator
authority at low airspeed and could keep the nose at a higher attitude tha
n before all the way to touchdown. This was especially evident when I easil
y kept the nose off the runway for a good 500ft after touchdown. The nose w
heel finally touched down at a significantly slower speed than I had been a
ble to do before. Before the VG installation, no matter how hard I tried to
keep the nose wheel off the runway, as soon as the mains touched the nose
came firmly down.
I used the STOLSPEED Vortex Generators available at Aircraft Sp
ruce: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/stolspeed.php
The hardest part of the entire installation was trimming the pr
ovided 3M dual side tape once I painted them. :o)
