electronic no moving parts pressure sensor type asi.



Thanks...

My Firestar II weighs 415lbs & I weigh 200.  I stall at approx. 42mph.

I originally sent this on the 12th and it didn't show up on the BB. Somehow 

or other all that showed up was that I had sent a message, not the body of 

the message. So I will try again.

   I noticed that the site selling the Halls had some VG'S that look just 

like the ones that Mr Shackleford drew up, only theirs was 240.00? for a 

kit.

Larry Thanks. I have seen the devices you have installed and have read the

views on this site regarding them. I will at some time, no doubt add them.

And I appreciate everyone's assistance. Have you looked at the e-mail post

regarding Stall and GPS? It gives the last trips numbers.

Thanks Larry, What is the placement and spacing as well as the number per

wing that you installed? And how did you determine the number and distance?

Would you be interested in making additional ones? And NO I am not a lawyer,

nor would I sue anyone if the didn't work! Also Larry, How did you get them

to adhere?



The other Ralph

I attatched the first set at 11 inches back from the leading edge. These were on the full ribs. I then attatched the second set on the false ribs and I set those with the back of the VG's even with the front of the previous set. I have included the information that I received to make mine. I attatched them with double sided servo tape from a hobby store. It does well.  If for some reason they don't come through let me know and I will send them to your email. If you use lexan (1/16 ) You can bend the lexan just as easy as alum, but being clear it is not necessary to paint them. The color shows right through making them almost invisible.
