I had a botched launch today.. The chicken loop somehow separated from the hook on a gust and I found myself in unintended suicide mode thanks to famous German Engineering (look up my other thread on that)...
I think that PU tube is too stiff in low temps.
After watching it a few times, I guess I could flag it by turning the rotator release.. (not that it always worked for me before)
The donkey dick got too lose after ~2 months on this brand new bar.
The previous bar kept letting me down no matter how many $$$ I put in to it.. multiple snapped lines, rust, etc
I find this design unacceptable... be aware!
[EDIT] adding a short video to better present this issue.
Keep in mind while doing this at room temps will result in release at relatively low force, at around 0 Celcius the flag out line PU gets stiff enough to drag you with force w/o flagging out.
