good question, don't really know. i would guess around 23m maybe 22.5

its line length + bridle(if attachment is at least as long as mixer) + depower line + .5m or so

best i can do off the cuff, trimmed out with bar all the way in, it needs just a little sag. NO knots in the lower part for pass thru.

so 26.817m, that puts considerable amount of slack drag in it, but always adjustable how you like it. i assume you have the the bridle elements.

Aw....great find Sam...Thanks!

Yeah, about 88ft...that seems a little long but at least now I have a great starting point. And yes, I have the bridle elements.

I remember I wore out a 5 th line on a pulse a while back. Down where it passes through the bar. I made a new section, but I made it a touch short. I didn't know the measurement, so I winged it. Set it up, and it stalled like crazy. It was too short.
Point is, if it's even a touch too short, it'll stall on you.
Good luck.
