Landshorter Vortex Generators

Post by Tralika »

I used the Landshorter brand vortex generators that came with my kit. I tried their landshorter.com website today and it looks like it's a dead link. Anyone know if they are still around?

I found this post on the Supercub forum dated 10/22/18.

"Joa here, founder of Landshorter. My wife and kids still sell VGs, mostly to OEMs like Just Aircraft, Kitfox, Aerodyne, etc. I'm just too busy with my aircraft certification (DER) and composites business to do retail sales. Hence the dead link on my site."

It sounds like we can still get them from Just Aircraft

There are similar generators for sale on EBay for about half the price.

Yeah, but those are cheap Chinese ones and they spin the vortices the wrong direction.

VGs are not Rocket Science, looks like a good price. I’d try them.

Maybe I was a little too tongue-in-cheek.

We had the same problem with reversed vortices. At first, we thought it was because we installed vortex generators on an aircraft that had an alternator, and we should have bought vortex alternators. We couldn't find any.

We finally fixed the wrong-direction vortices by taking the VGs off and reinstalling them on the opposite wings.

Yep, that's my story.
