Default 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...

Dave
