Default Secret Life of the Tow Rope

It would be interesting if you mixed some Left-Hand weave rope with some
Right-Hand weave rope...
Maybe it would just all unravel !

I just taped the camera to the rope about 20 feet or so from the glider

end

of the rope. Nothing fancy, just a whole bunch of wing tape. And yes the
twisting is from the hollowbraid rope coming under thension. Until I
watched
the video I didn't realize how much it twists when you apply tension.
