Do yaw strings really cause that much drag? I would never have
guessed.

I'm doing an intensive gliding course this summer so I should have
some time to test out some stuff then. I managed a whole couple of
circuits until finals by myself the other day, I was rather pleased
with myself xD

I have a HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) and it has a full 6DoF IMU, I think
quite a few other devices do actually. I'm thinking something along
the lines of datalogging the positional data from the GPS and allowing
you to import it into something like Google Earth when back on the
ground so you can view the flightpath and attitudes at any given time.

Regards,

Mike.
