    Yes and it works. I like to bent the antenna open a smidge because the dynaglide is a little bigger.

    Currently on one of my tarps RL I am using 1.75 mm zing it (the splice-able one) on one tie out and the other tie out I'm using dynaglide both with dutch flyz on them. Dynaglide is way over kill and not necessary but I ran outta zing it and like to splice my cord when possible to make it look pretty. On my other tarp I am using lash it with dutch flyz and their just tied to the RL of the tarp cause its impossible (extremely difficult) to splice. I have yet to find that one works better then the other (so both do work) although dynaglide does seem slipperier. I try not to use dynaglide except for woopies due to the cost of the cord in comparison to lash/zing it.

    edit: thanks for the tip on opening up the antenna a bit Dutch, Ill have to try that on one of my flyz.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    I love my dutch-flies. Only set-back is if I have to move them on my line for set-up and it is dusk....I nearly have to go get my reading glasses as they are so good and small!!!!
    But....they have never slipped......

    I got the fixed eyes spliced and finished the ends. looks rill nice...

    I know the DG is way overkill but it's the only spliceable rope I got hanging around - pun intended. I plan on ordering some stuff from treestuff.com when I get back from the gorge...
