Add to Wishlist

Overview

Micro Vortex Generators from Micro Aerodynamics, Inc. are available for a wide range of aircraft and can reduce stall speed, improve aileron response, improve cross wind control, and reduce landing and takeoff roll. The kits consist of vortex generators mounted on the wings, the horizontal stabilizer, and the vertical stabilizer. The generators are manufactured under FAA/PMA from 6063T6 aluminum and are curved to fit the contour of the wing. Included in the kits are installation tools, detailed drawings and instructions, templates for positioning VG's, spares,Loctite Depend adhesive and all the materials needed for the easy one-day installation.

Q: Are these STC'd for my Cessna 172L? Also, I have a cuff and fence (STOL kit) on my wing. Would the vg's still add performance?

Per the supplier: Yes, Micro VGs are STC approved for Cessna 172L. The VGs are located on the wings, the underside of the horizontal stabilizer, and on both sides of the vertical stabilizer. The VG kit is compatible with the leading edge cuff kits (Sportsman, Horton, Robertson, etc). Since the VGs work by energizing the airfoil you have, the combination reduces the stall speed from what it is with the modified wing, and in addition, it adds more crisp response to the elevator and rudder at those slow speeds.

Q: Part # 05-00619: I need to increase my allowable all up weight on my Cessna 206 by 200 lbs. Will I achieve this by fitting the vortex generators?

Per the supplier: No. This product is not certified to change any weight carrying capacity in this aircraft.

Q: Is a sample form 337 included?

Yes, the 337 form is included with the product.

Q: How many VGs are in the 185 tail upgrade kit?

Per the vendor: It depends on the aircraft. The registration number is required when special ordering this item to determine the qty req'd. They will span across the horizontal stab.

Q: Do I need to purchase for each wing or is a quantity of 1 for both wings?

It is for the whole aircraft.

Q: If the aircraft has auxilary tanks will additional vortex generators be supplied in the kit?

Per the manufacturer: "When an aircraft been modified in a way that results in additional wingspan such as with a WingX kit, Flint Tips, etc, we provide additional VGs and templates to accommodate this length at no additional charge if MENTIONED AT THE TIME OF THE ORDER."

Q: Do these ship painted white or are they bare aluminum?

These do not come painted unless the paint option is selected, They ship without paint,but they are alodined which is a coating to the raw aluminum to close the pores and prevent corrosion.

Q: Do the micro v gs add to an airplanes Range or lower its fuel consumption?

The Micro VGs provide more control response at slow speeds, and lower stall speeds. They do not make a measurable difference to aircraft range or fuel consumption.

Q: I just need one replacement vortex generator but Id take 10 to have some spare, can they be ordered separately?

Unfortunately only complete kits are available for sale.
