My understanding is they increase control ability at low speeds more than lowering stall speed.

Debated adding them to my STOL kit plane, but more shit to break and not really needed for my mission

There is another great video of a Wing X installation where he cant get the wing x 180 to stall until he gets Vgs. Meaning he probably doesnt have the control authority to reach the critical angle of attack before the VGs. That also made me think for all you 182 guys, having VGs would most definitely allow you to get elevator authority (weight off the nose gear) at a lower airspeed than without. My 58 182 feels almost immediately wheelying/light in the nose even just from prop wash at first throttle. Something to think about since everyone buys big forks/tires and everything else to prevent firewall damage. Could better elevator authority do just as much? Makes sense to me..
