Michael,
A stuck solenoid would get a reflight. The case there is that the
equipment failed, causing the crash (incidental). I would expect a
reflight to be allowed there.
A stab that gets hooked by the retriver line happens all the time. And
it is not the grounds for a reflight...at least in my book. I cannot think
of any way that the operator could cause the line to get looped. That is
the pilot's technique. I think that a CD could be leniant towards sportsman
in this case, since this is a common beginner error (diving to far in the
zoom for instance) and I MIGHT be persuaded to allow a reflight. And yes,
it did happen to me as a sportsman while I was leading a contest...and no I
did not get a reflight.
