Well, we all know that something as innocent as paper can give you painful paper-cuts.
Not impossible to hurt one's self with these flexible units, but a huge step in the right direction.
Now I'm curious if anyone's used actual bird feathers as vortex generators.
How about man-made feather VG's?
I found what I think to be the same product by a different supplier. They make note of the design being a bit different than older designs.

Other vortex generator suppliers recommend the strongest super-super glue - that's the last stuff that I would want to put on my precious paint job!

The rounded shape of Stolspeed VGs works really well with wing covers or washing. – no points to snag.

Put Feathers on your wings, and fly like a bird!
(Well not quite like a bird of course, but lots better than before!)

The aircraftspruce comments section also complained of UV fatigue of the older offerings.
