Has anyone mentioned the yaw string on these wide birds? What's it doing
during incipient diving vs. spinning?

During lots of spin training flights (that include spiral dives to
show the difference) I *never* looked at the yaw string. Even in a big
bird the diffrence between a dive and a stall/spin is easy to detect
(and recover) if you have a little experience in this glider and
halfways correct spin training.

Frankly spoken, pulling the stick back hard enough to break off the
wings shows that the pilot was lacking the most basic skills to fly
that bird.
