Wing Launch - Can it pull your wings off?
Derek C wrote:
The consequence of using a 10% weaker link would be a greater chance of a broken weak link and a failed launch, which might be hazardous in itself under some circumstances. No, never! A cable brake is routine and *never* hazardous in *any* circumstances. If it is, then something in your operation is seriously flawed. But a cable brake (or weak link brake) is always an annoyance, as it interrupts the operation.
