Think of a carrier set up (cables) but stretched across the runway.SONIC WOODY #146 There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

(stop you in yards) Our cables run out a good distance (dependant on weight and speed) -- could stretch 1000' or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Second, you are probably going to wish you didn't know. Despite my disdain at naming him after aircraft...I needed something rather appropriate for the new kitty who has this strangely odd ability (see pics) It isn't broken...and he can bend it 90 degrees in any direction, or hold it straight.
