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.

If you already have one of these, or are still managing just fine with
yarn and tape, you could make a copy of Collected Classics of Soaring
your favorite Christmas gift.

When do you plan on releasing the iPhone or iPad version? I've been
looking for the iMKIV on the appstore, but it isn't there yet.

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.
