At that length the price is doubled because you are also getting an angle
of attack indicator.

Design idea - If a yaw string that is 0.00075 furlongs long - as
measured with my horse - is pretty good, wouldn't a yaw string
extending from the front to the back of the canopy be better? Then I
will always have the string in view and can easily detect if my head
are slipping more than my knees (which makes me weak in the knees).
This will really work well with DG's. Or can't you buy gizzards
that
long?

I've heard *bumper Manufacturing, LLC*, recommends a minimum of six (6)

MK IV yaw strings mounted centered and in-line from the front of the
canopy to the rear of the canopy. Order seven so you have a spare, and
you may be able to negotiate a reduced shipping charge!
