Hello Skybolt folk,

I believe I'm noticing a slow increase in the slack of my landing wires under G. They can go from taught to an inch deflection in the upper section under only 2-3 G. What is considered "normal"? Do you all tension wires during annual? I have only tensioned once at purchase 3 yrs ago using fish scale method prescribed by Steen Aerolab. Waiting on digital scale delivery to check again.

Thanks,
C.
