Can anyone out there who is using rope on winches or has had experience doing so please let me know if:
-they use a trace on the glider end of the rope -they use a recovery chute -how do they cope with stretch in the rope (ie: use non stretch rope or auto transmission or some other means) ? -What technique you use to get the twist out of new rope ? -Is the swivel effective or a waste of time ? -Do you splice your joins or tie knots ? -Do you use a rope or metal weak link ? -Do you use a tension measuring device ? -why did you go with or stay with rope rather than wire ? -which ropes have you tried and liked or disliked ? -what surface are you operating on: ie grass gravel etc ? Cheers Michael Derry Have Fun Flying Safely PS Hopefully someone from the Gippsland Gliding Club will reply. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list [email protected] To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
