Elevator Vg's

Could anybody give me the measurements and locations of the elevator VG's I think there is only a total of 16 used now compared to 30 thats pictured in the kit site. I also think they are at a different location

                                  Thanks

The Zenith VG kit comes with a location drawing & spacing measurements.

FWIW,

I talked to Caleb about VG placement recently to see if there were any "updates" with more experience. He said he thought that although some experiment with different placement, he still thought the measurements in the drawings were best to use.

Hi Rob,

And the location works really great !  When done, make sure to move your elevator all the way UP and DOWN. This way you ensure the VGs wont interfere with the control movements. I had to realign the trailing edge of the stab to ensure proper spacing ...Not a big deal but some VGs were really close to the trailing edge ...

 

They do work GREAT...You'll see !

Have fun !
