Replacing the MKIV yaw string - tips

How can I calibrate it to warn about air pockets? There're everywhere! Dear AGL, The MKIV comes factory calibrated for air pockets and no further adjustment should be necessary.* The MKIV will indicate the presence of a significant air pocket (at least the ones we have around here) by pointing straight up. Assuming your head has not punched a hole in the canopy, air pocket recovery will be reliably indicated by the MKIV yarn coiling neatly around the base in a counter-clockwise direction - - watch for it as this moment will be fleeting. *Unfortunately there is a little bit of hysteresis error that we have not been able to correct for. bumper
