Micro Aerodynamics Vortex Generators
  

Here is a good view of the Micro Aerodynamics Vortex Generators mounted on the tops of the wings.   The kit comes with the VGs (little tabs) unpainted so I had to get Larry at the paint shop in Healdsburg to paint them for me before they could be attached.  The whole installation process took about a day and the instructions with the kit were very easy to follow.  The kit provides everything you need right down to a pencil to do the marking with.  The effect they have on the slow flight characteristics is very noticeable.  You can haul the nose up and power along at 50 mph and still have complete elevator and aileron control.  Shortwings are hard to stall in the first place but this makes it almost impossible to get loss of lift with the power off.
