Stewart,
I do not have VG's on the Husky's, many say they work well in keeping airflow attached for better control at slow flight, but then give an abrupt/quick stall at some power on settings. Have not experienced it myself and decided not to install them. I think the Husky with the fowler flaps is different than the cub, so I left them off.
I do have them on the cub, installed them when they first came out without tail VG's, then added them later. Did extensive before and after on cub and they work in my view, holds on much longer and just mushes rather than true stall.
I am installing the Keller/Airframes fowler type flaps on the cub late this year, so will see what that does. Should make it more like the Husky flaps and from tests they say the stall speed is lowered a few mph and keeps nose down on approach, all sounds good.
