I'm going to wait for the -A model (small cross section / low drag), though
one should be aware it's suitable for use only by eagle-eyed pilots.

A quick search of ebay turned up what appears to be the identical
model for less than half the price. The seller is located in China,
however, and when shipping and import duties are added in it isn't
such a great deal. Rumor has it that the yarn is 100% wool from
inferior sheep. Buyer beware.

Mike,
I have been using the off-shore version for the last season and it is
actually much better than the domestic (Bumper) version. For one
thing, it uses Virtual Yarn, which is simply printed on a clear
plastic sticker. That way it is not affected by the air stream which
as you know has an annoying tendency to make the real yarn flop around
and lose alignment with the fuselage.
