I haven't heard of anyone ever installing VGs on any Porterfields before, so you'd be a pioneer, if you decide to dance to very long song with the FAA for a field approval. The modified M-6 airfoil stalls straight ahead just under 40mph, but cruises close to 100, so I'm not sure how much benefit the VGs will provide.

Where did you get your A&P?

It's been years since we've had a Collegiate or Flyabout represented there. There's lots of good info in the blogs and forum, and informative photos in the pictures and videos.
