Vortex Generators on Kitfox Classic 4?

[tjmxer]

Anyone have any experience with Vortex Generators on Kitfoxes, namely Classic 4's? I see Skystar sells a kit with directions for Kitfoxes and wondered if it was a worth while expense. How much do they improve slow speed flight? Any and all information will be greatly appreciated.

Your question was spot on. The vast majority of reports say that there is better handling at slow speeds and gentler stalls, but very few claim any reduction in stall speed. There is currently a discussion on the Sept. Kitfox of the Month thread. You might want to check that post.

There are three articles entitled "Local Flow" which are
very interesting.
