the H201 and also the Kestrel have trouble with the two round rings, for
those the smaller ring needs to be of the long or oblong variety.

Our club members with those problems bring their own old ring.. check Tim at
Wings and Wheels to see if he has any left..

What kind of problem are you having? We use the double link Tost rings

and
have not had any problems with my Libelle, a 301b, with the nose hook. I
don't know where they buy them, but I think they are close to $30 each.

I know the subject has been brought up before, but I was wondering if
anyone out there has come up with any new ways of coping with the way
that the current pattern Tost rings bind in Libelle nose hooks. Going
through the archives I found three possibilities mentioned: 1; Make
the aperature in the glider nose larger, 2; Find an old "double
oblong" Tost ring or 3; Just use a piece of chain for the end of the
weak link.

The one that sounds the best, using an older ring, seems to be near
impossible to accomplish as I can't find any of these rings. Does
anyone have any new ideas?
