Hello just figured I was let everybody know I installed micro aerodynamics vortex generators on my plane and flew it.
before install i flew it and had a power off stall with positive break under full gross conditions at around 45 and under full power around 43 . Under both cases , I had a positive break with a definite stall and under a full power condition plane would have a tendency to want to start into a spin if given the opportunity. Aileron use during the stall , would only aggravate the plane into a stall or into a spin if you didn't pay attention to your footwork.
After the install of the v g s I noticed a definite difference in stall behavior and now I do not have a definite break during the stall . But more of a mush with a minimal loss of altitude.
What I did find interesting , was that I could still be flying at 39 or 40 and still throw in full aileron left and righta ndthe plane . just did exactly what I asked and I can say from previous experience . that was impossible when approaching the stall or in a stalled condition .
I know that my stall speed , indicated has decreased by three and possibly five but what has really impressed me is the ability to throw in full aileron with a yoke back in your belly with no problems whatsoever. I'm sure my landings , as well as my takeoffs will be shorter as to how much I'm sure I will find out later that most noticeable is the improved handling at slow speed . it was truly impressive . even my mechanic , who was riding with me at the time could only say wow.
