 |
|
No Howard, I still have the VGs, but don't think I will install them on my
701 elevators. (Want to buy them back?).
Here is my reasoning. With the BRS chute behind the baggage compartment the
CG of my 701 is toward the back of the allowed range. Probably due to this,
I can keep the nose up during a power-off stall. Probably the VGs would tend
to hold the nose up even higher in the stall speed range, so I am concerned
that if the engine goes out in a nose high position I may have trouble
dropping the nose... Maybe this wouldn't happen, but why do something that
could potentially cause problems when the plane balances-out well now and I
have no trouble with pitch control at any speed.
