Bryan,
Could you elaborate on how you rigged your main so you can lower it from the
cockpit. I have a P-19 and I didnt enjoy climbing up on the cabin to drop it
Sunday in a storm. I can raise it from the cockpit, but I have a hard time
getting it down without climbing up and nursing the slugs (is that what
they're called?) down the track in the mast.
Thanks.
