I've been looking into the CH701 and came across this site: www.stolspeed.com .
Have any of you seen the mod of removing the slats from the 701 wings and installing vortex generators?
According to the above site, results included improved:
- Cruise speed
- Top speed
- Fuel efficiency
- Low speed handling
And the STOL characteristics were close to what they were with the slats. On the site there is a link to a video demonstrating takeoff and landing with VGs instead of slats.
As a potential builder, I'm also thinking of fewer components to fabricate.
Any thoughts?
