Default ARF's gliders

There's a LOT of gliders that a winch can break... if you don't put a short piece of lower strength line between the glider and the chute. (to prevent overstressing the wings)

Winch lines are almost always stronger than the glider. a 2 inch or so piece of line sized to break before the wing folds is a good idea. ( the same thing in a High-Start line doesn't hurt either...)
