Not bothered at all.

I didn't really invest a lot of time or effort into this endeavor - some blue painter's tape and yarn. I was looking for what happens in general to the airflow around the fuse of my pattern plane. But mainly I was checking if I had the rudder trim set properly. Anyone who has flown a Cessna will recognize where I got the yarn idea from.

After watching the videos, I noticed at low to medium airspeeds that the left string always curled up towards the top of the plane. However, it doesn't seem to have any effect on the tracking of the nose of the airplane. My guess is that the "spiraling slipstream" is there, but it only has a negligible effect on the airplane.
