[TowerTalk] Aircraft Cable / Safety Line

[Alan NV8A (ex. AB2OS)]

When I read that AN Wireless charges $3 per ft. for their safety 
lifeline system option (which includes the anchorage plates, cable 
clamps and thimbles, and turnbuckle, in addition to the cable)

to be used in conjuction with the gizmo that grabs onto the cable

it struck me as a terrible price, and I wondered whether I could get the 
cable, thimbles, and turnbuckle for muuch less locally and buy just the 
anchorage plates from Dan.

So far, the largest such cable I have found around here is only 5/16" 
(vs. Dan's 3/8" cable), and it costs $2.43 per ft. anyway.

So, unless I am missing something, Dan's price for the whole kit and 
kaboodle is pretty good.
