[Rhodes22-list] Boom Vang for the R22

[The Rhodes 22 Email List]

A Boom Vang would help immensely. 
Downwind, the boom has little control without rigging a preventer or vang.
To keep the boom roughly horizontal, it must be held down (or pushed down) in the case of this new idea. 
It looks expensive and I didn’t see any pricing, but this could work for a pop-top up scenario, especially if a Cunningham were rigged as well. 
On the other hand, if performance is your goal, the pop-top should be down anyway. 
The IFM system may not be compatible wit hit, I have a standard rig.
