not another person.

Yes. We all know how a helicopter works and why it is safe when used correctly.

But when it is used incorrectly, by dropping the lead, what makes it any more unsafe than any other rig?

Exactly, this isnt about the set up of it, it's about what happens when stuff goes wrong, and people seem to be using leaders as leverage to their argument for some strange reason 🤦‍♂️

I think this may be an age thing. Old timers like me and Keith and others have been around to see what happens when LC is misused. The carp tigers have probably seen the end result of our anti-LC labours and set up correctly, hence no further problems***








































888And if you believe that you'll believe that LC is totally safe. Over and OUT!

I've never got around to using lead core, never found a need for it.

You are arguing a point that nobody is arguing against?! I think some need to re read this thread properly and take in what's being written

No. You yourself said

Definitely not dropping the lead , totally dangerous thing to do with Heli setups.

But you STILL haven't explained why it is any more dangerous than any other rig?

Yes, it stops it being the safest rig, but what makes it more dangerous than your lead clip rig with the tail rubber pushed on tightly?

And Ive never said I use lead clips and push the tail rubber on tightly! FFS read the thread. I've explained countless times, as have others. You either are choosing to ignore it ,or just can't grasp what is being said.

You haven't explained it once. No one has.

People jist keep regurgitating the fact that that a helicopter needs the lead to pull the top bead off. We know that.

But if it doesnt have the lead, why is it any more dangerous than any other rig?

First of all you told me your lead clip doesnt dump the lead, and then you told me it does dump the lead. You're very confusing.

Nothing says "i dont know the answer to your question" quite like a childish insult.

FFS I answered your question regarding my clip and tail rubber. But I will spell it out for you one last time. The tail rubber is put on enough so it doesnt dump the lead of its own accord (ie on the take) , but not so firm as it wont allow the lead to come off if it becomes snagged up. That is about as plain and simple as I can make it for you, if you can't understand that(which is what I already wrote in different words) then there's not a lot more I can do to help you grasp what I've been saying
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
