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...
