There is considerable interest in the UK in using
plasma/dyneema rope for winch launching. However,
the main obstacle appears to be finding an efficient
method of cutting the rope in event of an emergency.
Has anyone ot there found the definitive method???

I saw this message in another trhead named "Winch way is up":



You may want to have a look at

They have modified their winch to cut their PE cable. You find the email
address of the author at the end of that page.
