Weak link material
Fuck you, Rodie. You couldn't calculate the number of gallons of milk in a one gallon milk jug with a gun to your head.Jim Gaar - 2014/09/11 00:35:43 UTC
I use my own calculation for weak-link strength...

Because it has the best known and accountable safety record (in my personal books anyway).
As carefully explained in Dr. Trisa Tilletti's article in the 2012/06 issue of the magazine....based on FAA standards for towing...
Trust and experience. Can't emphasize just how important those issues are in the matter of weak link selection....then I put my own trust and experience into the final decision...
...as to the type or weave or color.
Especially the weave. If you don't get the weave just right your weak link might not break when it's supposed to. Or it might break when it's not supposed to, but that's just an inconvenience.
REALLY!!! Maybe you could explain to us muppets exactly how and why.Different bridles and how they attach to ones harness mess with the basic calculation too!
Well yeah, but that's really not fair. We have neither your experience to be able to properly evaluate weave and color nor your intelligence to be able to understand the effects of different bridles and how they attach to one's harness.Look, it's your ass hanging out there.
Honesty and abilities?! Damn this is getting complicated! What if we're only honest about sixty percent of the time and our abilities are only about one third Zack Marzec. What factors should we plug in? Is there some kind of guidance we can get from the FAA? DAMN! I knew Trisa's article wasn't anywhere NEAR comprehensive enough!Be honest with yourself about your abilities and act accordingly.
I SHOULD be able to expect the motherfucker on the other end of the rope to know what the fuck he's doing because he's got total control of the power going to my aircraft and if he's a douchebag he can kill me when the air isn't doing what it's supposed to.Never "expect" someone else to save your life.
Who do you think you're successfully conning with this crap?Towing is not rocket science but it is a science IMHO.
Gut this son of a bitch. We ANHILATED Rooney and Davis is hanging on by a thread. We've got these pigfuckers by the balls. Don't let them escape with any shreds of dignity intact.
P.S. This is what you unleashed on this sport, Donnell. I hope you roast in hell for it - for a while anyway.
