Are Weak Links really Necessary for Aero Tow?
A lot of the clubs here tow with thickish (5/8 inch and some 1/2inch)
poly and nylon ropes, without weak links, and pilots with years of experience say that no load exerted by the glider can damage the tug - and in the worst of cases even a 5/8 rope will break before damaging the Tug (Most often a supercub) Comments from knowlegable people please --- Thanks and kind regards JS
