And not to belabor the point, but several traditional designs have been
modified in recent years by adding slats. Here's a nice clip of Mackey
describing the features of his modified supper cub ----very interesting
slat design! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srnOl1A8pqw

I second that, The slats do work, At the airstrips I fly
from... I Sure trust the slats 100%
There is also a "plus": they give that beautifull STOL "looks"
to the wings.
In the local flyins I have heard peoples comment about the
"massive wings" of my 701...
(smiling proud owner(s) below the wing's shade).
Is also part of the 701 looks, same as the transition from the
wings to the cabin, make it look very "jeep" like... I love my
airplane.
Removing the slats (I think, because never WILL test that "up"
here) is like driving around in a souped up car (1/4 mile look alike)
with a big muscle engine, headers, decals and everything, but running on
normal white walls... Why install the wide racy ones?... (yes, looks
and performance).
VERY Sincerely, one recent experience with our 701:
I would had NEVER tried to take off without the slats at 6,300
ft ASL in a 97=BAF day!!!!
This last week end from Lagos Air Club barbaque, @ 1,028 lbs
take off weight (yes, a good very serious preflight is a must, including
exact weight of gas and passenger)
21=B015'20.94"N 101=B056'47.33"W
Also notice, in the Google Earth, that only about 2,300 ft on
the south side of that closed airport is usable (for Ultralights/ very
light planes only).
Also another important plus of the 701: 5 gph autogas...

I'm with you 100% John. People that like the planes flying
characteristics with the slats removed, probably selected the wrong
plane to build.

Why bother to build a STOL aircraft if you take away the
things that make it so? VGs only make poor airfoils work better, they do
not make a STOL wing out of any airfoil. Flame away!

I have the Stolspeed VG's on wings and elevator.
I took my slats off, and I'll never re-fit them.
I think the only time you'll find a difference (if one
exists) is
when the nose is pointing at an angle which would scare
most people to
death.
The Vg's on the elevator make it easy to hold the nose off
at very
slow touchdown speeds.
Key advantages are the loss of drag, better fuel economy
and ease of
cruise near the maximum.
