Had never really considered the chance of a tail hookup. Back to experimenting methinks!

Just letting people know that I won't be going to the farm today because I'm not sure anyone else will be there and I need help re-maidening the Shooter.
So I'm off to Harrisville!
Go Great!
Ken.

OK, this is my recollection of our chat. Joe says that you need to consider the speed the chute travels at the model end during a launch. He did some calculations in the early 90s and found that each 0.1mm thinner the line is gives large decreases in line drag which corresponds to less belly in the line, more speed and more launch height. Comparing the frontal area of the chute as being a large area in comparison to the frontal area of the line means it has an affect so you should decrease this area by double hooking. The proof was many launches and comps where he and the americans had a launch advantage until it was also adopted by other teams.
