Finished the VGs and got em on the wings…

 

 

Then pulled her out to get a look in the fresh air… Been a while since she’s seen the sun.

Micro VGs, Part 2…

December 22, 2013

As mentioned, its pretty simple. (Of course this post is just for fun, truncates the full instructions, and is in no way meant to instruct one on the installation of Micro VGs. Please follow their directions)

First find the landmarks in the drawing, in my case, 3″ from the trailing edge of the horiz stab.

Use masking tape to lay down a reference line with the thread provided.

Find another landmark and lay out the VG templates. Once the sticker is on, use the provided Scotch Bright to prep the surface for adhesion.

The VGs are adhered with a two part Loctite system. First, spray the activator on the surface (small aerosol can,) then place one drop (only one drop) on the bottom of the VG.

Spread the adhesive across the bottom of the VG press it on the flat surface and hold for a couple of seconds. Once they have set up, do a cursory clean of the excess material, and remove the green template.

Once the templates have set and you have waited a bit, clean the remaining Loctite for a nice install.

Micro VGs, Part 1…

Depending on who you talk to, their effectiveness can be questionable, but I decided to go for it and install Micro VGs. (not looking for a debate on this thread)

The 185 vert stab I put on the 180 for the GW increase already had them installed, and since I was painting the horiz stab, it made sense to install them before I shot the coat of red. I’ll post some pics of the install, but first pics of the kit.

Regardless of your opinion on the VG, you cant dispute the fact that Micro Dynamics puts together a very organized kit. The directions are super easy to follow, and the kit is totally complete down to a pre-sharpened pencil and a nifty tape measure.
