Dan,

Brilliant!

I think you are onto something. However, we might get the same functionality without that drafty hole by training the MKIV's to work as a team. There'd be one inside and one outside, both with tiny magnets so their tails stay aligned. That way when the canopy is all iced up and you can't see a thing outside, you'll still be able to take comfort in knowing which way the wind is blowing as you are falling out of the sky - that being mostly down of course.
