Winch Launch Extreme 5200 ft

Surely the cable tension must be greater to provide a 3500 fpm launch instead of a 1000 fpm launch? I'm curious about the amount of tension No, I don't think so. And I think the climb rate is not related to the cable length, IOW, you get the same 3500 fpm with, say, a 3000ft cable. -Gerhard -- Gerhard Wesp / Holderenweg 2 / CH-8134 Adliswil +41 (0)76 505 1149 (mobile) / +41 (0)44 668 1878 (office) +41 (0)44 668 1818 (fax) http://gwesp.tx0.org/
