....we fly drill rod with cables (against all expectations, these cables last quite a long time!), cinch them at the same side.
If at all, a pack like this will turn slowly WITHOUT any swinging.
I do not like nylon straps, as the free parts will usually start to vibrate.
Frequently I encounter pilots that don't use their mirrors (basically your only way to see the load in cruise in a AS350...)
Use the mirrors to keep your load tracking straight, by applying a little rudder pressure on the opposite side the load swings to...
[mirror tells you the line goes left, apply right pressure...]
If your load does not stop to swing, then the pedal trick still keeps you somewhat coordinated - you just slowly snake your way to the target.
Keeps the ball from swinging left/right.
BTW - my drill rod packs fly stable and nice to 80+ kts....
Cheers,
