Yaw string is a basic "equipement" of our gliders, that often questions the people out of gliding movement. My answer to such inquiry is to say "this is a low cost sideslip sensor" - with a tongue in cheek...
Well yes yawstring relates to sideslip, but at the end do we really know how much the angle we observe every flight relates to sideslip ?
