<p>Anyone care to share the dimensions of the VG'''s? I would like to 3d print some. I can figure the curvature, just need basic dimensions. Thanks for any help.</p>

I would prefer to install something that's angled aft so as to minimize rearward or lateral forces that could theoretically cause the fuselage to bend at the attach point, such as the skid/wheel run into a small mound of dirt on a rough runway. Something like this would preserve the tiedown.<br />

But your post did give me ideas on an installation point. Thanks.

Sebastien,<br />

Thanks for the VG's. They have made quite an improvement in low speed control.<br />
I have watched the video. Some extreme attitude indeed, on touch down. A tail skid with replaceable shoe, or a tail wheel, may be needed in no-snow landing.<br />
