    I installed the Land Shorter VGs on my exp. Pacer. It was an easy install (I used the template from Micro I copied from someone else). I am very pleased with the performance of the VG, but then I have not flown with anyone else's VGs fro a comparison.

    Micro VG's for uncertified pacers is $595. It's exactly like the certified pacer comes complete.

    Just out of curiousity (because I don't know didly about it)... Would it be possible to get a field approval for the Landshorter or Stolspeed VG's? If so would it end up costing more then the Micros in the end?

    I'm looking at doing VGs in the next few months and I'd love to be able to get the Stolspeeds approved just for the flexibility and looks. Unfortunately something tells me I'll be going with Micros for the ease of paperwork.

    I have never tried to get a field approval so I know nothing about that process but I would guess it all depends on your FSDO

    I plan on getting Microaero VGs. Before that however I plan to put some leading edge tape on the wing. My question is how many inches back from the leading edge do Microaero vgs go?

    My FSDO won't give a Field Approval if there
    is a STC option.

    About the same I get in St. Louis Bob! Just kidding. I only flew the airplane with them but just for the controllability only they were/are nice. Stall is a non-event, just a mush power off, didn't really mess with power on. While checking out in the beast if we got crossways on the runway we just pulled it off the ground, no matter the speed.

    I've got a 57 22/20 with Micros.

    Jim, how far back from the leading edge do those go?
