    "To install the Rapide link, twist the barrel on until hand-tight and then add 1/4 turn with a wrench (for five inch-pounds of torque)." PPM, Vol. II, page 108. And yes, there are open end wrench attachments for torque wrenches. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    There are so many variables to a question like this that the line above is about the best answer. Learn as much as you can about everything you can and try like hell to avoid the situation. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Yeah, and I land on the runway so I don't get grass stains on my jumpsuit. Assuming that you're kidding but just in case, no. The question was (to rephrase) whether the pin is curved because A) on a BOC throwout the pin is pulled upwards putting a perpendicular force on the pin or B) so that the if the pin is pushed, it won't go through the closing loop. I always hear people say that it's curved because of the latter and it didn't sound right. No, I am not kidding. Neither A or B is correct. My previous post explained why the pin is curved. The loop at the bridle end keeps it from going through the closing loop. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    Yes it is very expensive, but remember they are for the military. At present they have a 5 year repack cycle and they are shooting for 27 years. They are emergency egress systems, if used they are throw aways. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

    I was there when the pin was invented. It was Hank Asciutto and Dennis Trepiner. They were upstairs in Hank's shop, Para Innovators, in Perris, CA. It is curved because when you pull on the pin from any direction, it rolls un on the outside radius of the curve and will rotate out easily. When it roll up there are only 2 points of contact with the loop because the pin shaft is square. Because of the amount of beer and Jack we were consuming that night, it seemed like so much jiperish to me. But about 30 days latter there was the curved pin. Check PPM, it talks about Hank inventing it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
