For your glider friends: inexpensive, used often, and appreciated.
The MKIV yaw string, with it's clear tubulator base, is one of the least expensive "right up front" toys you can buy for a glider! Just $12 USD, free shipping to US and only $1 international shipping. bumper zz Minden, NV for more info or to order: bumperjm at g mail dot com |

All except the latter at no additonal charge. Sorry, no intention to develop the iMKIV for the Apple as we feel the future is with Android OS. Sadly, initial tests on the Droid have been disappointing, with the yarn getting hopelessly tangled up in the fingers while texting, precipitating a stall spin and sometimes the dreaded tailspin or engine stall. With no demand whatsoever, the MKIV should be available for ADS-B any day now. bumper |

All well and nice, but the big question *this winter is whether it will be compatible with PowerFlarm. -Paul |

Sorry Tony, As an unofficial beta tester for the MK IV Yaw String, I must report that it suffers catastrophic failure when regressed beyond the Y2K dateline. Further, although some minor anomolies have been noted when crossing either the equator, or the international dateline, the effects are quite small, and should pose no risk to the experienced glider pilot. |

I heard that there was a firmware upgrade that solved the Y2K
problem. All current units sold should not have a problem with this.
