Long EZ owners started using them on the canard because it is a laminar flow wing that looses lift when it gets contaminated with anything. Dirt, rain, bugs, anything. A friend and EZ owner was barely able to keep his nose up long enough to get it on the ground once, so he installed them and they work
The Vortex Generators, turn a laminar flow wing into a turbulent flow wing, such as is the RAF-48, commonly used on the KR. If you are using a turbulent flow wing, I don't believe that there would be any reason for using these. I think that the subject came up because the new wing is a type of Laminar Flow wing.
