How do you know where to install them? How do you know how many to install? Are there installation instruction available for these Stolspeed vortex generators?
Yes, we have added the manufacturer's installation instructions to the "Installation" tab of this web page. Please review them for all available installation details.
Are your VG's UV (ultraviolet) stabilized or protected so sun light doesn't destroy them in short order? How about 3M adhesive, is it UV protected or stabilized?
Per the supplier: The material (Makrolon) used to make the VGs is rated as being UV resistant by the manufacturer. Still, I think it's a good idea to paint the VGs if they are going to be in the sun all the time. The adhesive is very resistant to UV.
Will these be a benefit to a small bi-plane such as a Baby Lakes? Slowing down and reducing stall speed would be a big help on such a short coupled fuselage.
Per the supplier: Yes, I think VGs would have the same effect on such a bi-plane as any other wing. The VGs tend to stabilize the airflow, so that you don't get a sudden stall. So you can hold off to a slower speed and 'mush' on to a more gentle landing.
Are the Vortex generators effective on the rudder at low speeds?
Per the manufacturer: "Experiments with vortex generators on rudders is quite variable. Some report good results but most don't find much effect. At low speeds I wouldn't expect a noticeable effect."
Does the kit come with the template to ensure the correct angle?
Yes, these kits include the templates for proper spacing.
Are the Stolspeed Vortex Generators approved for certified airplanes?
No, these are for experimental aircraft.
Does one set, part # 05-04457, cover both left and right wings or do you need to order two sets?
That kit will do both wings.
Will the STOL vortex generators work on a Vans RV 6?
Yes, these can be used on all experimental aircraft. They are commonly used on Vans aircraft.
m interested in getting some dimensions for some Vortex Generators. Are you able to give me some nformation on the dimensions of the Stolspeed Vortex Generator?
The Stolspeed VGs are 12mm high and the base is 25mm long by 10mm wide.
How would these VGs be applied to a biplane? One wing or both? Top wing only or bottom wing only?
PER THE MANUFACTURER: We do not have any experience with a biplane but VGs on any wing will stabilize the airflow and prevent abrupt stalls, so either wing would show a benefit but both wings would be the most effective.
