Generated these to possibly help aerodynamics of my flying wing (ZOHD Orbit). I ended up using one full strip and a partial strip to go from wing root to tip. Probably not necessary, but that is what I flew with. So far, the aerodynamics seem to be improved over having no VGs. One thing I did notice is that these don’t lay very flat if on the more aggressive curve near the leading edge. So, maybe mount a little further back compared to where I show in the picture.

I'd seen other vortex generators, but none seemed to have the right attributes. This is intended for a wing with a 20 degree sweep back or forward (probably would work for most wings.) Just make sure you get them oriented with the wedge pointing forward, on the wing top surface. I used Fabric-tac glue and it seemed to hold up in flight, even though the VG strip didn’t lay down perfectly flat.
