Do you have any photos of this installation? I'm wondering if it'll
help settle down my Komet.

Try it!

Use some scrap 25mm (1") square scrap wood, steel tubing, etc. Anything
that presents a 25mm flat surface at right angles to the fin box skin
will do. Put it on temporarily with Gaffer, Duct or even parcel tape. Do
a short tow. Try moving the strips to sere what works best.

If/when it works well enough, spend the time and money to get 25 mm
alloy angle strip and attach it properly.
