we use a 200ft rope as standard.. we had 230ft ropes.. great for training.. 160ft ropes really get your attention.. In Poland 200ft ropes are used for training, but pilots prefer shorter, 130ft ropes. For tows in very turbulent air (like tows for wave flying) the ropes are even 60ft long. Longer ropes gives more time for reaction to tug's turns, but shorter ones are less springy, which makes easier to maintain steady speed during tow. Especially if the tug is not so powerful. -- Wojtus'.net __|__ FidoNet: 2:484/47 `--------o--------'
