Maybe you could just copy it and paste it on an email to them. Thanks Jerry This inquiry regarding vortex generators was forwarded to me by the president of my local EAA chapter 1345. Just a brief history of my background regarding vgs: I've been involved with vortex generators for general aviation aircraft from the very beginning - over 16 years. I knew the benefits of vgs, and our company, Pacific Northwest Aero LLC, which manufactures aircraft parts also provides vg kits for experimental/homebuilt aircraft. Regarding Lancairs - we presently have a kit for the 320/360 which reduces the stall speed at least 6 knots. All the owners' comments state that the low speed handling characteristics are greatly improved. This particular kit uses vgs on the wings only. We do have kits for other models of aircraft that use the vgs on the vertical as well as the horizontal, for example, the Murphy Moose and the One Design. By properly placing the vgs on the wings you can get significant lower stall speeds without penalizing the cruise speed. We are involved with the Lancair Company in Redmond flight testing various other models. We are planning to make kits available for the ES, Legacy, IVP etc. If you have any other questions or want more information feel free to contact me and/or visit our website.
