A local Hang Glider Pilot / Machinist, is making some aluminum
string batten tips for his U2. The Outer Batten Tips here is Arizona tend to
wear off fairly fast due to the hard ruff ground. He has a CNC lathe and decided
he would make a few for his glider. I saw them and thought they would be nice on
my school gliders that get dragged and beat to death by students during lessons.
A plastic one from Wills Wing cost .72 cents. I'm going to try them out on my
school gliders. Is it worth it? Does anyone else want some while he has the
machine setup making them? $7.50 each.

Maybe you could purchase a few extra plastic ones.
