my understanding... they are used on a wing to help when the AoA exceeds 15% or so... they keep the flow more efficient in that situation in particular... for that reason, i'm not sure how useful they'd be on the underside of our wings... a question for the more educated on this subject for sure
re small fins... what I plan to do is put them a little further afield in the airstream where the boundary layer remains thin...
... but it would be nice to have some data that helps us understand how high the fins should be
these are used on kit aircraft by the way... those things cruise at 150-175
