So wait, were do I download the firmware update for the yaw string?


Why that's proprietary, updates and calibration are done in a lead lined
clean room at the factory - $15 includes return shipping. But for about the
same sum you can have the very latest firmware along with all brand new
hardware from most of the better on-line glider accessory suppliers.

Or, you could drill a hole in the canopy . . .

Should the drilled hole be round or square? I'd think a square hole would have
less drag if one assumes equal hole widths and perfect sailplane alignment
with the oncoming air. Geez, for $15, is it unreasonable to expect decent
customer service, like some directions for drilling the preferred square hole?
Is it winter yet?
