Hi guys
I just got back from OSH, man it was a good week...near perfect weather
except a little damp a couple days. Huge turnout. I had a great week; I
think everybody did. The Zenith booth looked to be busy every time I
went by, especially the 750. Roger was his usual courteous self...nice
folks.
Not to beat a dead horse here, but I had an email from a lister when I
got home, asking questions about vgs on his plane, which is a VW powered
with open cowling, and other differences from my plane. I wanted to
resay that anything I have offered about my experience with vgs pertains
to my plane only. There are so many differences in the finished planes
that what worked on mine might not on yours. I just don't have any idea
how a vw plane would perform with vgs, what with all the possible
variations in weight, cg etc. I would think the results would be
favorable...but just don't have any experience with anything but my
particular Rotax bird. You have to find out about yours.
As I think I stated way back a year or so ago, when passing along my
test results, I found that placement of the vgs was important. I tried
them at 12% and 10% and found that to be too far back. At extreme AOA,
the vgs would "uncover" and the wing would stall, or get into a high
drag situation which took a while to accelerate out of. I then placed
them at 8% and haven't been able to make them uncover there, and that is
where I left them. That was the only downside I found...and the 8%
position fixed that... for me.
FWIW
