Spectra is Lovely

Just make sure you get it thick enough.

We had lots of practice with cable breaks with the thin stuff. Our winch went back to the manufacturer for upgrade -- which took two years -- and is just back with thicker Spectra.

There is an automatic cable tension control with airspeed transmitted from the hookup.

Now we get to see how it works.
