REFLECTOR:Trailing Edge Fences

[jack davis]

Well, when I purchased my VGs from the factory several years ago, the
factory said the vortilons were not needed when the VGs were installed.

I have completed stall testing at the aft CG with not even a hint of the
onset of a deep stall.

Just my experience.
