bumper,

I find my yaw string always swings out to one side or the other - should I
use a heavier string?


Nah, just tape down both ends.


That is not aerodynamically clean. A yaw string, properly mounted to the
inside of the canopy, needs tape at only one end.This results in less
drag to the glider, and less confusion to the pilot.
