Looking to get "professional" advice in setting up a winch operation for our small glider operation. Who would you consider the top four experts/consultants in the US, and why? Geographical location is of no concern. Thanks in advance!

Don Ingraham runs a commercial winch operation out of Faribault, MN. I'd consider him an expert. (He wrote "Landing Out - The Final Four Minutes" with Bob Wander)
