OT WWII Memoirs (was SAFE Winch Launching ...)
Gentleman, can the (increasingly off subject) WWII discussion please
be moved to: http://www.ww2f.com/ or http://www.ww2incolor.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=43 or ANYWHERE ELSE besides ras? Believe it or not, some people are here for honest discussion of soaring/gliding... and yes- even tension controlled winch launching whether you understand the physics and merits of it or not. Respectfully, -Paul PS. it took long enough to get rid of those jackasses who kept arguing about Mustangs vs FW 190's the first time... |

I never felt concerned with any of my winch launches... even my 50ft cable break. And learning to operate the winch after going solo was also an experience I wouldn't give anything for. I'm happy with my aerotows as they get me a bit higher than any of my winch launches... but from one who has done both, I'd say that I would be happy with either. Both are as safe as the pilot being launched and the launch operator, be it winch or tow plane. |

Lucas Electronics. British vehicles imported to U.S. in 1960s and early 70s had Lucas Electronic components which gained a reputation as finicky and aggravating.

Lucas also had the first intermittent wipers (not by design)
Also the old joke of a patient talking to his cardiologist, "hey Doc, what do you mean 'Lucas Pacemaker'"!?!? ;-) Yes, raised around 50's and 60's British sports cars. |
