Hello all from Ontario Canada:
I am wondering if anyone has installed vortex generators on their X Air Hanuman/Hawk?
I can install them myself, 10% of the length from the leading edge, (4 inches apart from one another) all across the top of the main wings and all underneath the horizontal stabilizer for about 240$ CDN.
The vortex generators are about 1 inch long and about 5/8 inches high and about 3/8 inches wide, made out of clear plastic.
All instructions are provided except what adhesive to use - any suggestions??
Some people inquire as to why an owner would install vortex generators on an aircraft that already has a low stall speed, but I guess my response would be making an effort to reduce stall even lower but more importantly to reduce total take off distance; even
if it helps a mere 30 to 40 feet.?
I'm not 100% going ahead with this project but I am quite confident I will notice a difference if I do.
Any advice or suggestions is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin
