Re: [RCSE] Retriever Line Question??
If you are concerned about the string burning your fingers, send me your snail mail address and I'll send you a tape showing you our hand free retriever. Just push a pickle switch at the same time that you would normally grab the string and wrap it around the bike hub on the old big wheel retrievers. Our retriever does that automatically. Used at the Phoenix winter soaring contest this last February. Rick Bothell www.handsfreeretriever.com

Re: [RCSE] Retriever Line Question??
It's not that hard. Both sides of the knot are identical. Make a loop in the first line with the second line going through that loop. Wrap the first line in the first loop 4-5 times. Pull it so it's almost tight. Repeat for the second line. Then pull both lines to slide the knots together and tighen them up. If you do a good job, the wraps will be nicely lined up and neatly wrapped in a row on each side of the knot. Leave about an inch of loose line. The knot will tighen up a little more with use. It's a lot easier to demonstrate than it is to describe how you tie it. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Michael Lachowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Double Uni-knot works fine for Spectra.

Re: [RCSE] Retriever Line Question??
Lee, We also considered using something like spectra for a retreiver until one of our guys thought about the accident potential. Braided nylon (or is it dacron, I never can remember until I get out the Memphis catalog) can be dangerous so we always wear a good glove. Spectra would go through a hand like a hot knife through butter! We gave up and never tried the stuff. Someone else might have tried it. What do others think about the safety issue??
