Mark Hislop is an unknown quantity at this point
Pat:

If you already have boots on the plane, then the Horton STOL will not work for you. The Horton STOL STC is applicable to booted airplanes, but there is a leading edge cuff that needs to be added. You would have to remove your boots, put on the cuff, and put the boots back on.

I don't know if the Robertson STOL conversion requires a leading edge cuff. Perhaps others here can tell us. The Robertson will give lower stall speeds than the Horton, but costs about 3 times as much.

If I were you, I would look at the Microaerodynamics VGs. They seem to offer about the same results as the Horton STOL, and don't require a leading edge cuff or new wing tips. They are also less costly. One of the other 337's at our airport recently put them on, and the owner is very happy with them.
