I still had some cooling problems after I installed the stock 3/8" VG's, so I upsized them by using 3/4" thin aluminum angle (Lowes or HD) that are 1 1/2" long in the same positions (using equivalent radius). Temps dropped about 15 degF. I know of another V that did the same and got same results. I also pop riveted them on.

Does someone have a picture or dimensions of the VG placement in front of the NACA scoops on top of the fuselage?
