Default Glider Winch Manufacturers or Plans to make???

The skylaunch is a cosmetic update of the 1960's US Gerhlein winches and
suffers from the same major shortcomings. *If you still like it, save $50k -
$75k by spending a couple of thousand for an old Gerhlein and fix it up.

If you'd like a modern, state of the art winch, take a look at these from US
winch buiders:

Some serious crack smoking been going on there :-)

Skylaunches are quite superb winches. They're very well made and give
smooth, powerful, and repeatable launches. A pleasure to fly on and
drive.
