You might get a sign that says something like, "This aircraft is known to contain toxic level of asbestos (chemical warfare agents, ebola virus or whatever) - approach without proper HAZMAT apparel at your own risk".

How about...

WARNING: Aircraft contains 42 gallons of volitile organic compound known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Avoid direct contact or inhalation of fumes. No smoking within 50 feet.

And/or

CAUTION: Aircraft contains high levels of Lead, Cadnium, and Hexavalent Chromium known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Avoid contact.

Then again, I really don't want to start a thread about how to keep protestors from ruining our fly-ins.

Honestly, I think the most beneficial thing might be some big educational signs that talk about aircraft performance, show the build process, timeline, costs, and remind visitors not to touch the custom built planes without permission. You could also man one plane and let kids get in it with supervision...might be a good way to get some young eagles. One neat idea at kidventure was mockup planes / cockpits that actually were playground equipment.

Default Only for pilots

This will only work for pilots, and ones that have their reading glasses, but it's pretty clever. Attributed to a certain german pilot

Best way to keep people off the planes is to prevent them from getting close in the first place. Several feet of white rope (small) with some stick in the ground poles and you can successfully fence the plane off. Then hang a sign that says:
Caution this aircraft has been found by the state of California to produce a lead by-product. This lead by-product has been know to cause developmental disorders in certain genus of microscopic insects. For your safety please maintain a 30 foot perimeter.
-Management

Most parents will then stay away.

Default Camera deterent

Put a fake surveillance camera on a tripod with a sign suggesting private property, violators will be prosecuted, etc... Could even have it suction to the cockpit glass, to eliminate tripod. People tend to obey the rules when they are being "videoed"

For what it's worth, the CAP squadron I'm a member of does train the cadets to try to keep people from touching the airplanes. Most of the time simply asking someone if that is their airplane is enough to get the point across.

Set a wireless dog fence transmitter under the plane, set the range to extend a few feet beyond the wing tips, and put the meanest looking dog you can find next to your plane. Then put warning signs at several points on the perimeter.
