Sounds like mid winter "cabin fever" here..... but in August (in the northern hemisphere)......
Maybe some need to get a life, or a different job...... ----- ;-) [Picking, not slamming....]

MKIV "high tech" yaw string (tech note)
A job? No time for such trivialities UH! Too busy scouring eBay for gliding paraphernalia. As I've found the turbulator effect of the Mk IV to be a little too effective in raising the string into the free stream airflow, I've decided a constant charge of static electricity on the canopy should get my wobble dampening a.k.a. string friction juuuuuust right. All I need now is a Van der graaf generator and a slightly taller canopy in which to fit it.

....Or simply apply epoxy liberally to the string. A few hours setup
time should provide for great indications of coordinated flight. On 8/11/2015 11:30 PM, wrote: A job? No time for such trivialities UH! Too busy scouring eBay for gliding paraphernalia.
