    Here is a screenshot just before touchdown yesterday, notice the IAS which is in MPH. I think the VG’s are working! Just to add I was pretty heavy landing with 50 gallons, landing weight was 1,939 as I was carrying some stuff

    About 12 hours, my friends did their kitfox in about 10 last august. Me flying and a person on the ground relaying results and them radioing the next task. High intensity, but gets the job done

    That is not adjustable on the Bearhawk planes.

    Thank you, Does it ever involve slight differences in the incidence angle of the wing?

    I'm curious, what is the cause and remedy for a "heavy wing"?
    It depends. Usually what folks mean by a heavy wing is an out of trim situation in the roll axis. Something is making the plane want to roll. The best fix requires finding the cause and addressing it. Some possible causes include incorrect aileron height, flap zero position, out of trim in yaw, etc.
