Re: 4strings release
The guy at the end of the video.. We met together in the center of France. We was surprised by a bad cart which was turning left everytime. Nevertheless we decided to use it.. Otherwise everybody went back home. So, to correct that, pilots should move the tow point on the left side before to roll, ...

Re: 4strings release

4strings release
Hi Tad, I tested the 4strings on my own in real.. When I did the head signal to GO I armed the release unintentionally and went like this. I felt absolutely nothing in my teeth. That would be perfect if I didn't discover that probably all my AT was less than 27.2kg tow line tension including when th...

Re: You are NEVER hooked in.
In France, we had this extraordinary story : An old pilot cliped his carabiner on the "spreading tube" rather the hangloop. He did 2 " preflights ", used aussie method, a pilot " checked " his attachment. The spreading tube broke at the moment he took off and crashed al...
