  1. Eric, Excuse my ignorance. Does finger-trapping mean sewing a loop? I talked to a rigger today on the phone and he mentioned finger-trapping the ends. The only problem was I wasn't sure what he meant. Thanks for your help. Steve
  2. I'm wondering what is the correct method to tie on a toggle with microline steering lines. I know this may be hard to understand without anything to visually look at. I just got a new hornet. On each steering line is an ink spot. I assume this is where the toggle attaches. On larger lines it is fairly easy to run the line through the toggle, around one side, through the hole, around the other side, through the hole, and then wrapping the excess around and around through the loops. (Is anyone confused yet?) With micro-line this doesn't work very well because everything can pull back through the hole. I think there needs to be a knot also to keep things from pulling free. I know I should have a rigger do this, but I live a long ways from the nearest one. I'd appreciate your advice on this. Thanks, Steve
