Does anyone have experience that might be helpful. I have no direct experience (though I'm currently designing a load cell setup for a winch), but a 2000 lb capacity S-type load cell like this one: http://www.icscale.com/td112.htm In combination with an indicator like this: http://www.icscale.com/XK315Aind.html Should do the job. Marc Marc, What you describe was in the system that Udo built for auto launching his ASW-27. I believe I have images of the system if anyone is interested.
