Default Weak link for PW-5

ThePOH calls for a maximum strength of the weak link to be 700 daN.
Does anyone know what that is in pounds?

Slightly less than 1575 pounds. It is more accurately, 700 X 2.248 pounds.

For all sorts of conversion conundrums try http://www.onlineconversion.com/

dekanewton or decanewton (daN)a fairly common metric unit of force equal to 10 newtons.
The dekanewton is equal to 1 megadyne, to 1.019 716
kilograms of force (kgf) or kiloponds (kp), to 2.248
09 pounds of force (lbf), and to 72.3301 poundals.
In engineering, the dekanewton is a convenient substitute
for the kilogram of force or kilopond, since it is
nearly equal to those units.jeff

OK all you mathematical converters, aren't we asking
about a WEAK link ?
