Vortex Generator for RC Plane

Vortex Generator for RC Plane

After testing different shapes and angles I have finally reached the sweet spot on both. The gap below the surface is so the Vg bends to the profile of the Rc planes wing. After installation, I recommend closing the gap with tape and epoxy(or just tape) so the high-pressure air does not escape through it cancelling out the vortex. Glue it on using epoxy or superglue. I don't recommend sticky tape because it will raise the VG a lot and it will look bad. Not intended for full-scale aircraft. Place each VG at least 4 cm apart (or you will effectively be creating an airbrake). if you put this on your plane please upload a pic. The line marked as 10˚ on the VG should be parallel to the line(imaginary) that runs through the centre of your plane. There is an image that relates to this. You can also see a picture of my final wind tunnel simulation I ran using Autodesk Flow Design
