Ya know, I think it's not if but when. At regionals a few years ago Don McClave and Pete Peterson both hook got them backwards. Pat Johnston did the same thing with his small shark more recently. Last year I did quite a few laps glued to the ground with my newly re-furbished Freedom 45 before I had the nerve to flip the handle over. Trike gear saved my butt that time.
Mine are color coded and staggered. I still got them backward on my Chizler. With them offset, two inches in my case, even the feeble minded noticed that one line was slack before take-off. Nothing happened, I just changed them and flew.
To each his own, I suppose, but mine will be offset from now on. I too hate to see a pile of debris in the trash can.
No more soap box, see you when you get home Randy.
