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 very well now

and I have no trouble with pitch control at any speed.
