Hi all

I will receive my VG from spruce europe in the next days (stolspeed)

I'll put them on the tail (under the horizontal stab) and the rest on the wing

I'm looking for any advices to do the job

thanks in advance

Start with the tail first. Put them on Per JG's instructions. I used his as well on mine. The hardest part of the job was taking the time to ensure I had a good straight line for a reference point. I used some blue masking tape like the kind you use to mask off things when you paint. The second most time consuming part was sticking the 3M backing onto each individual VG. Get yourself a good shart EXACTO blade with a pointed tip. It makes it very easy to get the backing to peel off that way. You can actually stick the backing to all of them at home in your living room while watching TV. Finally take your time. They will come off if you mess up but they it's difficult and could mess up your paint job.

Here is a thread that you may find useful.

I put the VG under the tail yesterday

now it's more easy to land at low speed with engine on idle (slow motion)

before the avid was like a flying "iron" now it is more light than before (don't have to use full trim)

Do you have any specific gain data from your V.G's... any pics?

37 VG on each side

now it's 90-95 km/h (indicated speed, my speedo is false)
