		   If you decide to use them on the underside of your horizontal stabilizer to improve your flare then you will place them about 1" apart and just in front of the elevator.  In all cases the VG's are placed at a precise angle to the airstream and are aligned and spaced with the included templates. Boyd

There are VG's underneath the elevator just ahead of the hinges. I've been tempted to remove them.

I think I would leave them on.    The tail plane is designed to create a

downward force in order to keep the plane at the desired attitude.

Boyd, I'm not sure they are doing any good as I don't know of too many Kolbs that have VG's underneath the stabilizer. I probably won't remove them, but as I say, "I'm tempted to remove them".

There are VG's on the Airliners that I fly, and I have also been tempted to remove them...  But its not even legal to fly the airplane without its VG's     I'm sure an airliner will fly just fine without its VG's, but the experts keep saying not to due to reduced handling qualities.  What do they know, these companies only have 70 + years experience building airplanes, thousands of engineers, and billions of dollars in research behind them.   I think the Vortex Generators these major aircraft manufacturers put on their airplanes are not needed.  I think we should show them how useless VG's really are

Nice videos, I like the titan nice airplane, but while I was watching the flick it became quite obvious that its not comparable to the Kolb the same as a Kolb is not comparable to it. The Kolb is graded more to the STOL if not by design then by its performance, the Titan made me think of a C-150 in terms of its performance. Its a more modern design for sure. I would  like to see it at MV, hell I would like to fly my M3X and then fly a Titan and see what impression I am left with. I like the idea of the titanium landing gear. How are they holding up?

 I have been waiting to see videos of Lucien doing loops, rolls, and spins in his Titan but nothing yet...   I also have been wanting to see how the Titan will handle those 50 MPH gales they have in New Mexico and the extreme flight reports !  We need to get Lucien back in his competitive spirit again

The limitation isn't the plane, it's the pilot. The local II S flies in crap I wouldn't dare take mine up in, he flies a bit closer to the edge than I like to.

I do plan to barrel roll it at some point, but I want to get some training in rolls first. The original owner (JD) rolled it a bunch and there're videos here and there of it. 

Here he is flying it when it had the original 80 horse 912 on it:

Here's me trying to do a good landing in it:
