REFLECTOR:Trailing Edge Fences

[jack davis]

I have a standard RG Elite and only have the VGs (i.e., no vortilons).  The
aircraft handles very well even at very low landing speeds.  In fact, I have
immediate aileron control right down to touch down with no need of the
rudders.  I flew it once without the VGs and at slow speeds it wollows in
the wind without rudder input.

Therefore, I would disagree and say that you don't need the vortilons if you
have the VGs installed.  Just my experience . . .
