Default How reliably do CG hooks disconnect when the angle of the ropeexceeds the autorelease angle

Also note that the small hookup ring can wear. If it gets deformed or reduced in size, it can jam or prematurely release. I looked for the specification on minimum thickness, but couldn't find it with a (very brief) search. Check with Wings & Wheels to see if they know the correct "go-no go" dimension.
