Drop the Tow Rope
Somewhere in the tow rope discussion someone mentioned that their
operation will attach the weak link end of the rope to the tow plane. I
believe that was to minimize wear.
As one who knits up the ropes for our operation, I really like the idea
of saving wear and tear on that highly intricate end of the tow rope. I
would much rather braid up the end without the wink link. The weak link
end takes a lot of time.
But one question comes to mind. How does the group feel about receiving
the whole rope at the glider end, in the event of a rope break.
Thanks,
Snoop
