aluminum gurney flap

![Cool](https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/images/icons/icon6.gif)
so on my quest for finding cheap solutions i decided to make my own gurney flap.
i bought a piece of angle aluminum from Lowe's. i dont remember how much it was but i think it was around $5.00
you need a riveting gun, rivets, drill, and clamps to hold in place.
it doesnt need to be a tall flap. general rule of thumb is 4% of the top surface area of the wing. so the best thing i could find was 3/4" x 3/8" and i have the shorter side up.
started from one end and put in the rivets and bent the aluminum to contour with the wing and held in place with clamps.
here is the finished product. took me about 30 minutes.
