REFLECTOR: Vortilions and/or VG's?

[Ron Brown]

I do have the lower winglets.

I have the same wings as Jack so I think I will try flying without the VG's 
and Vortilions and see how it compares with VG's.  My 173 handled well with 
the VG's on short final.  I do lead with rudders when it is gusty or 
turbulent around the trees near the runway.

I'll let you know my opinion in a week or two.

Ronnie
