My plane flies completely differently with or without VG's.
I of course have the Vortilons installed in addition to the VG's. I gained
300 ft per minute climb rate with the VG's, also reduced my landing/take
off speed by 5 knots.
I'm quite amazed at the level of misunderstanding in regards to Vortilons
and VG's with this list?
