The yaw string in question is now up to model MKIV. The string is
made out of the gizard of a mature sandhill crane and is know to actively point to thermals (but you have to slip like hell to get there). See the MKIII in action at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCPMAAF7pMg. |

Did you get the patch for it yet? It doesn't work right in a crosswind
without the patch. It is available at SawYou.com for $29.00. At 18:25 01 September 2009, ZZ wrote: The Mk ll is old technology. I just bought the latest Mk lV for $300 on Wangs & Wobbles.

Warren Evans Warren, Send me an email at: bumperm at followed by att dot net I'll send you all the ordering info for the MKIV yaw string (still only $10, even though it is made for the very rare, endangered, and expensive gizard of the Sandhill Crane). Well, in the interest of honesty, it might be made out of man made synthetic gizard. bumper |

Bumper - Sure glad to hear about the gizard switch. I had a scary
visited yesterday from Guido Sarducci of the Chicago office of the ASSCLA (Affiliated Society of Sandhill Crane Lovers of America) due to your transgressions. He said you were going to "...sleep with the zebra mussels..." if you didn't change your ways. |
