Butler seat C-9 four line release tying instructions

[councilman24 36]

Anybody know if tying instructions for the four line release on a C-9 in a Butler Seat are published anywhere? I've got all the manuals that are on line and can't find it. Doesn't mean it's not in there.

It a continuous line sewn to a suspension line about the links, used to tie two lines to the link for the four line release and then the same line continues down the riser to use as a steering line.

So, it's not tied the same as the old water's four line release. That I have instructions for. It can't be and be continuous like it is. It kind of looks okay but considering the previous rigger I'd like to be able to check it.

Any help?

For the heck of it, have you checked Poynter's vol. I? I know, 4-Line releases are covered there.

Hi Terry,

I sent it to your email addy listed in your profile. I didn't have the patience to resize for this site.

Ciao!

Edit: Nevermind that. Here's what I got.

Thanks,

Where the hell did you find the speed 4 line? I don't think I've ever seen that but that's what's on these. Using the steering line to tie off the four lines for release.

Yes,
Butler says to tie a series of daisy chains.
Secure the first and last (and steering toggle/loop) with red sealing thread.

Anytime- glad I could help.

The "speed" picture looks exactly like the Military 4-line release used on 28' pilot rigs! The FAA used to require a letter of authorization before a rigger could install this system on an emergency rig.

Hi Everyone,

I know this is an old thread. But, I was referencing Poynter's Vol.I today and came across the info on the speed links.

For future reference:

Poynter's Vol. I, 6.2.11, p.251
