How about it's durability?

Very good. No cable breaks due to operational stress yet, but two or
three after the cable was damaged artificially.

Can a cut cable be rapaired in field conditions?

Yes. Very easily within 5 minutes.


Could people who did the testing share their reports with us?
I'm courious about cable's physical specifications - how elastic it is
(along it's length), how it stands weather conditions, etc.


The cable is very stiff, and so far no problems with weather
conditions have shown up yet (the cable is used in Germany weather at
moderate temperatures on a grass runway).
So far 5 or 6 clubs in Gemany are using Dyneema yet.

If you have further questions, ask me.
