  I was kinda hoping to enhance it. I understand through tuft testing
  others have done that separation of the laminar foil begins @
  approximately 30 to 35% back on the chord and that placement there could
  be a great improvement in the low speed range. More interestingly the
  manufacturer (of the VG's) feels the most help would be in the placement
  of the VG's on the lower horizontal just forward of the elevator keeping
  my small tail alive longer. I have no clue as I'm just a driver looking
  for all the input I can get before deciding. The one person I have
  talked to that has them, loves em, but he bought the a/c with them and
  has no "before" experience. I don't want to slow her down but if the low
  speed qualities could be noticeably improved on I might be willing to
  sacrifice a knot or three. On occasion she still gets my blood racing in
  the landing phase. I agree though, sure is a pretty wing to be gluing
  blemishes to.
