I have posted this on a couple other forum/websites but cannot remember if I ever posted this here....
Easy, Cheap VG’s. They take about 2-3 seconds to make one and cost about 3 cents each. They are
very durable and flexible. I put these on my Citabria 15 years ago and they worked out very well! This
stuff is 5/8” polycarbonate (lexan) that you can buy at Home Depot for about $3 for an 8 foot stick. It
will make 96 VG’s. Simply use tinsnips to cut 1” pieces. Then trim about 1/8” off one side to make 1/2”
tall. Then cut diagonal on 1/2” side leaving about 1/8” on end. If you cut diagonal the entire length it
will leave sharp point that will poke anything that touches it.(fingers, fabric) You can make both left and right hand units. Clean mounting surfaces
with denatured alcohol and temporarily attach with 3m double stick tape. The tape is temporary so
you can fly it and make any changes before permanently glue in place. You can look online to find
recommendations for placement on your aircraft. The adhesive I used for permanent is LEXEL. Bought it at Tru Value for about $7 a tube....flexible and strong!
