Cable vs rope pulling glider from field
I'd like to make a stout wire cable or rope with proper TOST ring, to
have on hand should I have to tow my 15m glider from mud/soft dirt/ guano. Is a metal cable necessary/preferable, or would high breaking-strength rope be sufficient? My only experience here (Chester loam, Pegase, and stick-shift BMW) did not end well. Thanks in advance, Erik
