If you are running on three bungees and are not flying near max all up
weight (not crop spaying) then its worth considering only using two
bungees (approved in England). In England we only glider tow with Pawnees.
At light weights the shock units mostly never open so all the landing
load/bumps are transferred direct to the airframe through the closed shock
unit. Its also easier only putting two bungees on.

Find somebody with a bungee tool, there are many variations of it.

Here is a link to how a couple of other Georgia guys do it.
