Thin rope!
We have been discussing on our team how a thin rope will be attached on the air ship. With a thick rope its the knot that keeps it from sliding through the two tabs with the pin through it. If you use a thin rope, do you have to make a really big knot? Or can you make a loop and hook it to something? Anybody out there know? Thanks in advance!

You are required to have a retaining feature greater than 1 inch in your rope.

Take a look at the monkeys fist knot. It's pretty large and depending on the number of windings you do, can be as large as you'd like. Also they look really cool!

It looks like a Slot that the knot sits in, so if you have a thin rope, with a thin knot, it will slip through.

Just realized those things are huge. Some shaped like that would work. Maybe a disc swing could be used as the top anchor? Or would that be too big?

We're looking at a .301" diameter rope a that should spool very nicely, but I'm afraid of looking back and thinking we could've done more.
