Warren,

I'll send you all the ordering info for the MKIV yaw string (still
only $10, even though it is made for the very rare, endangered, and
expensive gizard of the Sandhill Crane). Well, in the interest of
honesty, it might be made out of man made synthetic gizard.

Bumper - Sure glad to hear about the gizard switch. I had a scary
visited yesterday from Guido Sarducci of the Chicago office of the
ASSCLA (Affiliated Society of Sandhill Crane Lovers of America) due to
your transgressions. He said you were going to "...sleep with the
zebra mussels..." if you didn't change your ways.

I abhor violence . . . especially if it's directed toward me. Tell
Guido I'll meet with him and his labor union goon for some Tetley's*
and steamed zebra mussels.

*This could obviously be a "teachable moment" if I liked beer.

Nonetheless, an *authentic* synthetic gizzard!

I stretched my buget and ordered the famous yaw string with Bumper's
assurance that a World Record was in the bag as soon as I used it.
Wrong, wrong, wrong!! I flew for two whole months before I made a
World Record Claim. I suspect it was the synthetic gizard that caused
the delay. I wonder if I can get a partial refund.

Your refund claim is hereby denied.

The MKIV is guaranteed to increase L/D by at least two points (maybe)
and is more than adequate for most soaring applications (English,
Metric and Whitworth). For world records attempts, we recommend the
"World Record" patch (ver. MKIV/wra), available separately for $29.95
plus S&H. Shipping and Handling is only $299.95 USD. With the wr patch
installed, you will achieve world wide recognition (or ridicule). If
not, your money will be cheerfully refunded (less shipping and
handling).

....and shipping and handling is 110% of the total production cost (ala
info-mercials "But wait! There's more! It's free! Just pay S/H!").

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?

My $0.0000002 (Zimbabwean).
