Default Clear Yaw string tape?

I have seen a few gliders that had yaw strings attached with something
other than the white tape most of us use. It was either a clear tape
or clear sticker. If any of you use something other than the white
tape to attach your yaw string please share what you use. Thanks!


I love that this re-surfaces from time-to time. It always takes me back my first walk down the fie-down area at Jean. Marveling at the highly polished, beautiful and sleek white curvaceous German girls.
.....and having the ride 'spoiled' by seeing a big ugly splotch of old tape residue on each and every one. ugh. Some time (months? ) David, Paul, and Krys partnered up and bought a Discus, and it came with a Mark (whatever) yaw string (and probably also the QV) and I knew that I would NEVER use anything else.
