Hi Netters, This is my first post however I have been monitoring it for some time. I have been able to get all my queries off the archive search. I am refurbishing my KR2 at Caboolture, Australia. Most folk that frequent KRNet would have already visited my web site. I have a query regarding Vortex Generators. My KR2 (built by others) was fitted with heaps of VGs under the horizontal stab, on the fuselage prior to the rudder, on the landing gear and in front of the canopy. A previous archive search suggested that it lowers stall speed and if placed correctly has no speed effect. There are none placed on the main wing (original aerofoil). I don't understand why the previous owner wanted to lower the stall speed of the horizontal stab, but not the main aerofoil...and why the association with the rudder and canopy? Were they just VG crazy? Any thoughts?
Also...many thanks to Barry Kruyssen who pre-inspected my aircraft prior to purchase Cheers Matt Hurley [email protected] http://members.dodo.net.au/~hurley3/kr2.htm _____________________________________________________________ ProPilots Network Email - http://webmail.propilots.net/
