I stumbled onto this site yesterday and it has peaked my interest. Has anybody tried Vortelators on an RV yet who is on this Forum? Earlier today I called and got some information on the product and the claims are pretty much the same over the phone as on the internet site. Putting some tape onto the airframe and propeller seems like a stretch to gain speeds like they are claiming, but then again they took the time to get STC's to sell these for certified airplanes also. I was told that the RV-6 that they tested on had speeds increase by 6mph from the airframe kit, and another 3mph from doing the prop. There is no data yet on the RV-9A, but it would be great to hear from anybody currently using this product. It takes a pretty serious horsepower gain to pick up speed advantages like this, oh please, please, please be true. If it is by some chance true why don't we try to make this person a very rich man and speed up our planes in the process.
