Don't ever worry about breaking strings! REMEMBER!!! Technicians NEVER break strings!!! They may, however, be witness to their demise. I use RCT for my pitch raises, but when it is over 60¢ instead of using the preprogrammed mega pitch raise mode, I'll first go over it quickly with the fine tune mode. Normally, I like to make the display blush, but for this quick-and-dirty pass I slow the the propeller to about 20 rpm. THEN, I do the <60¢ pitch raise mode followed by a fine tune pass. Overpull NEVER comes close to breaking strength of the strings. Conrad Hoffsommer I tried to get a life once, but they were all out of stock.
