Use of weak links

1. Sometimes a weak link is not used at all. The gliders are attached directly to the winch cable (via drogue chute and various connectors). I can only hope there is some part of the connect system has been designed to function as the weak link and that you don't understand how it was designed the work. The alternative is that your club has decided it's quite ok for the wings to depart the glider during a launch. You must understand the cable system and know that it is compatible with your glider's limitations before you accept a launch. Your concerns are valid. Andy
