Searching for that specific fix, modification, or other information that you once read in one of the forums? It might be here. When the admins find information that is useful but sometimes gets lost in other forums, we'll move it here to easily find it. So think of this as anything outside of general discussion.

Vortex Generators

This article was written clear back in 2006. I happened to see a link in Facebook about it and decided to take a read. It's interesting and in my opinion, well worth the read.

Fantastic read, thanks for posting. I made the investment in VGs, and am looking forward to attaching them to my wing. This article confirms that it was money likely well spent!

Agreed - pretty much nothing but benefits from them. Plus I think you've got the right idea when we discussed painting them. Painting would make them look great, but upkeep and replacement for those that may be damaged - no fun. Keep'em as they came out of the package - smart!
