Bushcat/Cheetah
I’ve installed your VGs on my Bushcat/Cheetah airplane and I couldn’t be happier.
The test was conducted with an instructor and both of us are very impressed.
Before:
- Vs 50mph
-Vs1 45mph
-Vs0 40mph
The stall had no buffet warning and the nose dropped suddenly. Flare a bit too high at the landing would be a hard one.
After VGs installed on the wings only:
- Vs 38mph
-Vs1 35mph
-Vs0 30mph
The stall had a buffet and a gentle nose drop. Power on stall had a brutal nose drop. Soft landing, great low speed control.
After VGs installed on the horizontal stabilizer:
Vs 35 mph
Vs1 30mph
Vs0 30mph
The stall has no buffet anymore and no nose drop. Instructor not happy about this configuration for a training A/C.
I glued mine with marine silicone and I don't know what the UV resistance is. It might not be long term reliable but that was the only glue which worked for the trilam.
Conclusion: it worked on my aircraft! The improvement in lowering the stall speeds is dramatic. As well as the behavior at low speed.
