REFLECTOR: Vortilions and/or VG's?

[Al Gietzen]

i can't speak for the 173 but on my XL-RG which I believe is the same 

wing (if you are a LW) I do not have either VG's or Vortilons. i Have 

never flown the airplane with them and have not gotten around to 

installing them to find out if there is a difference. Airplane flies 

great as is.

 

 

Since the vortilons are there to create a vortex over the wing at high AOA
(aid in keeping the flow attached and breaking up spanwise flow), logic
would suggest that VGs on the wing are a more effective means of doing the
same thing.

 

Gee, Ron, I guess it's up to you to fly without and with and let us know the
difference:-).

 

Awaiting pics of that new paint job . .
