VG's on Warrior?
Why VG's?
Well..
Lets call it "Margin"..
It appears from all reports, I "might" go a little faster (2 Knts),
"will" stall slower (5 knts) - (I will settle for a couple.)
decreased sink/increased climb, (150 fpm, I will be happy with 75.)
Shorter landing roll, shorter takeoff run and climb to alt over
obsts.
They are CHEAP!
And there is a significant performance increase with them from what
I have investigated, if I get 30% of what some tell me they are
getting, I happy..
So... margin. - a little faster when needed, a little slower when
needed, a little shorter when needed, a little higher when needed, a
little farther when needed, a little better when loaded.
Maybe a little bit more of what I need when I need it really badly..
Worth the investment when needed.
And If I can duplicate a take off I have seen on video of a VG
equipped Cherokee,- he was over a 50 ft obst. while I would be
struggling for daylight.... Our warrior is no superstar, but it
"meets the numbers"
Seems like a lot for a few hundred bucks...maybe worth taking a chance
on...
Thanks to all for the thread of info...
