I agree.



I have taken the VGs off my 801 and put the slats back on because it his 

hunting season and I need the extra performance.  I'm glad I have a 

convertible airplane!  The conversion takes about 20 minutes.  It flys 

different in each configuration but it flys fine in each configuration.  A 

Cessna flys different than an Maul which flys different than a Piper.



I must admit I did not get as much increase in speed as I initially 

estimated but I am happy.



It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

I went flying a couple days ago with my 20,000+ hour CFI for by BFR. The 

last BFR

we flew with the slats and he thought the aircraft flew OK as he put it. 

With

the slats off he said it flew much nicer. The handling is just that much 

better.

My 701 is on amphibious floats with a 912s.  He had such a good time in

the 701 he said he hated to charge me!



The nice thing about Experimental Aircraft is just that....they are 

experimental!

For those that love the slats...leave them alone! For those that are not 

sure.....experiment....you

are only out a little on the price of the VG's. (The

ones for my Cessna 170A were $1450...one reason that I only own home builts 

now!)

And you can remove the vg's and put the slats back on....no problem.



I love looking at JG's web site and enjoy our back and forth e-mails. He 

seems

to love what he does! Please keep new ideas coming. I'll look and then "take 

them

or leave them"   In my case.... with my situation....I'd have sold my 701

and got a different float plane if the idea to remove the slats would not 

have

been posted here.   Thanks!!
