TOST Aero Tow Rope ELASTIK
TOST Aero Tow Rope ELASTIK
General Description
TOST Aero Tow Rope ELASTIK - The lightest and most comfortable aero tow rope. Material: crimpe crepe white, hawser-laid.
The stretching of more than 30% under normal load results in a particularly elastic tow, without dangerous recoil. The ELASTIK rope is recommended especially for motor glider tow and Ultralight tow. With this elastic rope, a smooth tow can be achieved even with less powerful tugs.
To save weight, we manufacture the ELASTIK rope without aluminum end pieces and rubber sheaths. The connecting parts are spliced directly into the rope ends.
The declaration of rope length is in stretched condition and under normal load.
TOST Aero Tow Rope ELASTIK is a special order item. Please allow approximately 4 weeks for delivery.
TOST ELASTIK price varies depending on selection. Use above Radio Buttons for selections and final price.
