Q1_Aircraft: VGs

Hi,

What is the recommended number and placement of vortex generators on
the Quickie GU canard? It seems to me that if the stall speed of the
canard is reduced, adding too many might get it to a condition where
the main wing stalls first, which isn't really too desirable.

The guy to ask about VGs is Keith Welsh (look him up on quickiebuilders.org)
The issue here is to avoid the lift decerase of up tp 50% due to
contamination (water or bugs) and thus maintain a safe flying aircraft.

Tlk to Keith ... he knows.

Gene,

Keith was really helpful, he's posting me a copy of the layout. Thanks
for this tip.
