There is an argument that having 2 short yaw strings, one behind the other, is better in terms of human factors. You have a stronger indication of the correct state in your peripheral vision. The alignment of two lines is a fairly strong indication in vision.

- H8crilA 5y agoYeah, that's correct. But that's no why that particular guy had two strings :). He just wanted to be double sure that his aircraft will perform at all times. I think he even had 3 certified flight recorders since misconfiguration or other failure of the certified flight recorder is the most common technical problem during a competition flight (you might not be aware that this little box is faulty until after you land). Actually quite a few "serious" glider pilots carry a second flight recorder.
