That was why they used unravelling ropes for suspense in Sat'dy arvo pictchas.
Ask any OFTTH. :-)

J did have a camera, but she was so entranced by the rope she forgot to take
the pic!

Having started this thread I award the prize for the best yarn to Anthony for
his unravelling rope scenario.
It was like something out of Sat'dy arvo matinee movie plot.
Pity they did not have their usual cameras with them.
As a wincher it feels *wrong* passing through the non manoeuvring area on
tow, trusting in the rope.
But then, it is what you are used to.
I remember EP taking a power aerobatic pilot on a first winch launch. You
could hear her squealing up the launch from the ground.
Felt *wrong*. No speed, no engine, steep angle.
Chris
