Anybody able to point me to a source and/or plans to
make a wing wave guage?

Thanks!

Shouldn't be har to fab one with a dial indicator from Harbor freight,
a hunk of wood/Phenolic and some nylon bolts from the hardware store.


Right. I made mine using a block of wood 2" x 3" x 1.25" (laminate if
nec.), an inexpensive dial indicator with 0.5" travel and readable in
..001" increments. Drill a hole just big enough for the barrel of the
indicator, then cut a slot in the wood and cross-drill and install a
small bolt/nut for "clamping the indicator in place. 3 large-ish nylon
bolts installed on the bottom with 2" between 2 at one end and 1 at the
other end provide the contact points on which to slide the device on the
wing surface. Simple, inexpensive to make.
