Default Replacing the MKIV yaw string - tips

I'm glad this discussion came back up, I love the MKIV (though club mates enjoy making fun of BUYING a yaw string, ha) Anyway.... I love it so much I have to ask: Is there any advantage to installing one inside the canopy as well? (I though I heard of a near 10% performance gain from such) Also, would my internal turbulators cause any interference?

Now we're on to something! The inside the canopy model would be an "inertial" yaw detector. Just connect some wires to your flight computer and it would show every movement you make. If it hangs straight down, you've just landed out. And the internal turbulators would be obsolete. This is real progress.
