    This is the same tape that I use on the end of a roach pole 10 mts to give me my wind direction when I am flying from a field with no windsock works great even a sniff of a breeze gets it flying... :D .

    My proper windsock pole an Aluminium one also 10 mts is undergoing intensive surgery at the moment and is being sleeved after I removed it from is concrete foundation with my wing tip in May :cry::cry:

    :explode:

  2. :shock::shock: Astonishing who would have thought that unless you were informed of the situation even after being told I still quite can’t believe it just goes to show real life is sometimes weirder than fiction :?
  3. another method from stopping it getting tangled in your feet on take off ..is to use those plastic spring loaded ball things that come with speed bars sometimes... :!: you thread them onto the speedbar line pull the speedbar up tight under the harness let go of the push button and it will stay there...

    :D

    then when you are up and away you can push the speedbar and the line will slide through the ball overcoming the tension of the springs......easy peasy....another top tip when landing just tuck the speedbar in the front of your harness when landing...... :P

    All of this method of course is not needed if your harness has a built in speedbar retention... :roll:
