[quote=yurdle][quote=turtlecat]Good question and I'm interested in hearing other opinions on it. Not that I have an answer, but more of a concern with the Amsteel having the ability to wrap appendages such as fingers or worse more easily than even the smaller dia. trap wires. hmmm....

This is my concern with using textile standing rigging, too...flying into a taught fishing line sounds horrible. I tried to pay attention this summer when flying around on the trapeze, and it seemed to me like the odds of a trap line getting wrapped around anything was really low. My jib halyard is about to go and the n52 jib halyard seems to be a perfect place to use HM line, so I'll start with that and go from there.
If I were to replace the trap lines w/ HM lines I'd most likely shorten them about a foot.[/quote]
