I am excited about getting them on and seeing what improvements result. I figure that after 8 years I have flown enough that I will notice any differences. Does anyone have any words of wisdom on placement beyond Joa's instructions? Are there any places on a series 5,7, sport that would benefit from VG's? I have been wondering about putting some on the back edge of the doors. I would like to do something to clean up the area under the cockpit. - Gear etc. It is a very areodynamically "dirty" area and other than covering it like Lowell did, I don't know what could help. Any input appreciated.

Installed Joa's VG a couple of years ago and saw 3-4 mph decrease in stall speed and about 2 mph increase incruise.=C2- The last figure I reasoned w as because the increase lift allowed for a little down trim for straight an d level. more stable on slow approach have not experimented with "Valez" type laning while on the back side of th e power curve.
