When I flew for the Air cadets, we used to just tie
a reefknot in the cable and tape over the 'tails' with
the same tape as racing cyclists used to use for their
handlebars(basically cloth tape) . You need to leave
about 4' tails. This worked fine and takes about 30
seconds to do with a good team....

Help- was aktywni polscy szybownicy. by
Stanislaw Kochanowski
Hi Dave (Martin),
My compliments to Jan Szladowski (whom I know) and
your very good self.
'Kwadrat', in Polish, is a 'square' - as in the geometrical
figure with four, equal, sides.
In the gliding context, it refers to the launch point.
