Vortex Generators on Canard Aircraft

Hi All

Vortex Generators on Canard Aircraft, Just wanting some talk on this subject from people that have VG,s on there Canard aircraft.
Photos and drawing and size location infomation would be good. If we can keep this post to VG,s only that would be good, so canard aviators can go and look at for infomation on VG's.

Thank you

Cheers Don

I met a guy at The Show (OSH)  who had a newer Velocity with VG's and some were coming off.  I asked him about it and he said he was in the process of taking them off.  He didn't feel they were worth the trouble and the top end penalty.  That was his 2 Cents.  He had a nice bird.   One door only on his Velocity.  Said it made his cabin 8" wider !  And eliminated a large portion of the center counsel rib.
