The VGs come with a template and instructions and are attached with super glue, installation time is about 1 hr. Lot easier than building flaps or speed brake. They DO NOT REDUCE CRUISE SPEED and there 100.00 for everything. Ray Lee KR2 9763

Today was the 4th flight with "shreg" and it ended in the felt on the extended runway. I came in on finals and did a side slip in a 75 degree X-wind. The speed was down to 90 mph when I crossed the fence and I was about 1m above the runway over the numbers. I was hoping to loose the extra 10

Well, no expert here either. I had a good bit of time in a KR many years ago, but only about 2.5 in this one. On my first flight, I kept slowing it down at 1500 ft, I would go to 3000 but the airspace limited me to 1800, to 65 mph, and flew it there for a while to get a feel of it. That seemed
