Price of a "Wings Only" Limitation on Vulnerability for a Winged Human variant?
As the topic says, I'm looking for a decent price for a limitation on a racial package I'm cooking up. Essentially, the race is a group of winged humans, with wings that are large enough to provide flight (it's a fantasy world, so we can make them able to fold up to a smaller size for not-in-flight purposes).
Now, I want to represent that these wings are a bit more fragile than the rest of the body in terms of durability; I've determined that this means that they should take extra damage from crushing attacks. However, the text of Vulnerability in the Basic Set indicates that it applies to the entire body. Assuming that the Accessibility limitation is viable for disadvantages as well as advantages (I don't have Power-Ups 8: Limitations yet, so I can't say for certain if this is RAW or not), what would be a good price for what I'm intending?

Another possibility I thought of: for Cybernetic Arms you are instructed to take Temporary Disadvantage: Electrical on any advantages that the Arm gives you, while the TD only applies to the arm itself. Using the same logic I'd say take the Temporary Disadvantage: Vulnerability on the Flight advantage to represent wings that take extra damage. That works out to -30%, -45%, or -60% on Flight.
