I no longer have my early Firestar but did install VGs for a while. 

They reduced the stall speed appreciably but most certainly made the 

stall a sharp break vs. soft and slow w/o the VGs. Since they did 

nothing for my normal landing speed and flying under full control at 40 

mph was slow enough for me, I removed them. That was my experience.



I tried the same VGs on my Titan Tornado with similar results. Again, 

since it did not reduce my landing speed (tail would bang long before 

stall AOA), I removed them from the Tornado too.
