Brief Description:  New Vg's are ready

At the airport today I installed one of the 1/4" VG's according to the new research I've done. I angled it at just about 20 degrees to the relative wind and 2" ahead of the naca opening. I don't think it's tall enough to do anything but I thought I'd give it a whirl. I also found that the boundry layer at this point on the belly is about 1.5" thick. Yikes! No way I'm gonna build a massive 1.5" VG. I opted with a VG that will stand up about 7/8" and I'll start there, slowly sanding it down with each flight to test for optimum dimensions. Tomorrows weather looks like thunderstorms so I'm hoping for at least a small window of time where I can test these out. I'm also going to begin rigging the wings to get this bird to fly hands off straight and level. it's been a long time coming and has needed to happen.
