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).

I've heard *bumper Manufacturing, LLC*, recommends a minimum of six (6)
MK IV yaw strings mounted centered and in-line from the front of the
canopy to the rear of the canopy. Order seven so you have a spare, and
you may be able to negotiate a reduced shipping charge!

Don't forget the offical MK I AOA Indicator, the first major design
variant after the MK IV yaw string. Mount one of them on either side
of the canopy and make your glider virtually stall proof. Includes the
official AOA grease pencil and protractor kit if you order today.

At that length the price is doubled because you are also getting an angle
of attack indicator.
