Kite Strings

I cannot understand how these people can be so dumb. How do they manage to feed and clothe themselves?

Lockout.

It ONLY took six weak link breaks (in a row) to figure out something was wrong. I am impressed. It's truly amazing. A fine display of perce...

Half of the load of the one at the top? Wouldn't each weak link feel about...

Two questions. How many weak links are required/suggested for a two point aerotow? If a weak link is installed at each end of the tow line (on the line side of the rings) then what is the function of any other weak links in the system? Steve P.S. I've never towed, and I'm not real smart so if you co...
