Vortex generators

[doctormike]

Just read the artical in AMA Model aviation on VG's. I'm going to try both both VG's and thickening control surfaces on my aerobatic planes. Sounds like a winner! Read it! Doc

I saw the article but haven't had time to read it.
Maybe I should.
Somehow I just got the idea in my head to design/build a smaller version of the 3D capable Sig Super Senior. There are a few of the large sized one around my area and they fly awesome. The VG's may help.

Look up vortex generators online. A wealth of info. I believe if you have a plane with a tip stalling problem, this could be the answer, since foamies are difficult to retain a wash in. Doc

I read the article. It's interesting. I might do some experimentation with VG's.

I 3d printed a bunch of the VGs like they show in the MA article. Basically a triangle 3/8" on each side and 3/32" thick. I can sell you 40 of them for $5 plus $3 shipping. email radfordc@earthlink.net
