Hey Guys:
Check out this site........http://www.permiansoaring.us/ They have
built their own state of the art winch and it sounds like they did it
on a shoe string.


On this page
(http://www.zweefvlieg.net/index.cfm?....pagina&id=279) you

can
find some information on the winch the Aeroclub Salland took into service
this season. The site in in Dutch, but here are some key features:
-6 drums
-diesel motor driving an hydrolic pump
-drums driven by an hydrolic motor
-automatic adjustment of speed and force (launch is practicly automatic,

but
manual override is possible).
-dynema cable (lighter and stronger than steel)

This is what I considder 'state of the art'...

André


WOW! State of the art indeed!

I'd sure like to get more details on this winch in English.
