Some have extended them straight out the lead edge with no angle where they get bumped , bent, broken off by people walking around the airplane. You then rip open the wing to fabricate a new one which again gets destroyed. So, you make the third one removable and forget to install it before flight and have no airspeed at takeoff. No, mine is per plans and works great. Larry Flesner
