Vortex Generator position VG

[WurlyBird]

If this has been discussed before I couldn't find it in the search function. I would like to call on everyone that has, or has had, VGs to give a report of their model, how far from the leading edge they positioned their VG, and what change they had. This may provide some empirical data to help others in the decision making process. I'm gonna do it, I just don't want to go through the flight testing process if it's already been done by others.

One vg's supplier (stolspeed?)has a testimonial section,a kf flyer tried staggered installation which he seems to think works.

Try the search function again. Quite a lot of stuff comes up if you use the words: VG's or vortex generators in the keyword box and search Titles only (advanced search function). This subject has been rolled around a lot.

At the risk of being an ass, I followed your suggestion and searched "titles only" for "VG", "VG's", and "Vortex generators" and only two threads came up. One about what material to make some DIY ones out of and this one. I know VGs are discussed, A LOT, but I can not find much info about KF specific placement. Some people report miracles and other a waste of money, it comes down placement and having a collection of placement on each model and the results could be very useful. Maybe even helping fix issues with those reporting the wasted money.

As an admission of inaccuracy, I had searched for "vortex generator". I went back and searched for "vortex generatorS" and four more threads popped up. Only one made mention of measurements and it was for only one model.

Do try Stolspeed, they are Australian based. Very reasonably priced and the website shows quite a lot of data on tests that they conducted.
Good luck.
