Is it possible to use the same length trapeze wires for traping off the wings and off the hulls (racing)? I see different lengths for the 18 vs the SX, Is that because of the mast length? Or the wings? I would appreciate your help, my forum search didn't come up with anything.
Thanks, Tom

Hey Tom
The reason for the different lenghth on the sx is the mast is taller.Some of you guys out there like Jeremy or Trey correct me if im wrong but I believe
the sx is 18" taller

Correct, SX mast is taller. I use standard trap wires on a SX mast most of the time. The handles are higher. I have adjustable trap units so I can quickly raise or lower myself while trapped.
