How about it's durability?
Can a cut cable be rapaired in field conditions?


The guy from the Landau Aeroclub did a presentation at the last Segelflugtag
in Berlin. When asked about cable breaks, he told us, sorry, can't talk
about that, we had none. At that time they had done 900 launches. However,
he confirmed that the cable can be repaired quite easily.
