Sometimes the chacons flew just fine, sometimes they spun a bit. No worries unless the doors weren't secured properly and the rating's luggage departed into Mount's Bay



Quite why the military tend toward short strops in conditions where most civilian operators would use long lines, I've never worked out. I've generally found loads on a long line less inclined to spin than those on shorter lines, although a pendulum swing is then more likely.
