So there's been a lot of talk on this thread about overloading components on one line set. My idea was to basically make a big 'x' frame that can get u bolted onto 2 distant arbors solely to synchronize their travel. Obviously, what that frame looks like would vary depending on the existing fly system. You'd had to build it out in front of the other operating lines and clear whatever structure may get in the way... Each arbor would be loaded appropriately for the weight on each pipe. In my mind, this would ensure that 2 operators don't vary their travel speed/acceleration relative to each other and keep the flown unit, that's hung on 2 pipes, stable as it flies in out (no rocking US/DS). Granted, whatever the "x frame" is will have some play in it, depending on how its constructed, but it'll stop a big lurch from happening in the flown unit when one operator sneezes or his hand slips on the line or something...
More of a thought experiment at this point, just wanted to see if there was a method for this, other than telling 2 ops to practice the move a lot and do a mind meld to make the fly smooth....
