Hello,
We are doing glider launches with a car and the altitude you are
getting is about the same with a static line. We can use 1/3th of
runway lenght of rope and need 2/3 for getting the max height which is
almost the 1/3th!(0 wind condition) The real out system is much safer
if you could provide feedback to the tension of the drum with a pre
selected force. And there is also less wear and tear of the dyneema
(only small part is in contact with the surface) If you could develop
a system we are very interested. What if you contact the winch docter
http://www.monkeytumble.com/winchdoc/winch.htm he lives in your area
but doesnot react on my emails....
greetings,
JP
