I plan to eventually install VGs on the wings first. Then I'll work on the
tail section.

Thanks for the info.
I plan to get started on this as soon as I get some VGs and the weather
warms up a bit.

Any Kolb will fly better with VG's only on the wings. I flew that way for quite a long time, but I noticed with the increased lift from the wing, that when landing my tail wheel was touching down first. When I would come in to land and I tried to flare, the tail would go right on through to the ground rather than flare with the wings. I finally decided that the wings were blanking much of the air from the elevator. The rest was lost at the steep angle of the elevator in relation to the wind. I installed four VG's on each side of the elevator, on the bottom, right at the hinge point. The result was that I was able to make three point landings much easier, since my tail was still flying.
Perhaps there are better places than the hinge line to install VG's, but the ones that I did install have improved the situation tremendously. It only makes sense that if there are VG's on the wings, they will hold the air longer before stalling. The tail with none, will stall before the wing in a landing configuration.
FWIW
