Why yes, the MKIV is available in SAE, Metric, Whitworth, as well as a
sub-miniature version in the very popular RCH measurement standard.
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.

That's all well and good - but, is it Y2K compliant?

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

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.

Note also that the Current Drain on the MkIV Model is substantially
less than on the early Beta Models.

Is the metric version marked in the mks system or the cgs system?

With all the technology Bumper has, I'm sure he's using SI for the
metric version.

In order that the MkIV can be used in Europe, under EASA rules I have
prepared a manual which will be mandatory. The manual will cost $1000 and
will expire anually, the renewal cost will be an extortionate sum yet to
be determined. The manual will be renewed free if you pay me an even more
extortionate sum of money for a service agreement, but you will at least
be able to get spares. No service agreement, no spares. I will be trying
to persuade EASA to make sure that you will not be able to use your MkIV
unless you have paid me the money. I will ignore any customers who
complain, I just want your money.
Oops, sorry I should not have tried to do this until you have actually
bought and paid for the item.
