REFLECTOR:Vortex Generators on XL

[John Dibble]

So It sounds like I can reduce aft cg by installing vgs on the main wing 
only, instead of putting weight in the nose.  I'm not concerned about 
defeating the purpose of vgs, because I think in my case I already have 
the benefit by being aft cg.  For example I only need 1/2" of elevator 
trim for takeoff.  I know I don't have any technical data to support 
this, but hey, I gotta start somewhere.
