between a good winch and all the rest is in ease of use and reliability.
The Eagle winch is very easy to use and has been extremely reliable.

Wallace,

You make a very good point here. In the past, that winch was very
reliable...we never had a problem that we could not fixed or affected winch
launch safety. As long as you have someone that can change the oil
occasionally and do minimal maintenance. THAT must be why PGC is selling
it; everyone who knows anything about working on it has quit! Let's see...
Head of "green thing" maintenance (the four wheel ATVs)...quit
Head of field maintenance...quit
75% of maintenance committee...quit.

Who is left? Oh yeah....Jack! The Princeton graduate who never went to
Princeton? The Engineer who cannot comprehend a gear warning circuit? The
A&P who doesn't have an A&P but tells everyone that he does? The guy who
mixes epoxy in Wawa coffee cups and then installs flight surfaces on
aircraft? The one that falsifies log book entries? Yeah, that's the one!
Sure, touch base with him and I'm sure he'll tell you how wonderful the
winch is and how perfectly he has maintained it. Be sure to look under the
seat when you get the winch for your lucky surprise. So far I've found
tools under two seat pans of gliders that Jack has worked on.
