...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? 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! -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA * Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly * "Transponders in Sailplanes" http://tinyurl.com/y739x4 * Sections on Mode S, TPAS, ADS-B, Flarm, more * "A Guide to Self-launching Sailplane Operation" at www.motorglider.org |

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. Operators standing by... P3 |

At that length the price is doubled because you are also getting an angle
