Can I refer you back to my report on this winch!

For the record, pulling back harder reduced the airspeed
and easing forward increased it.

Cheers and Happy Xmas

as some people in the winching world seem to believe
that the airspeed should be controlled by the pilot
changing the pitch angle. I found you could vary the
speed by about 5 knots either way


Just out of interest - when pulling back was the 5
knot change one of
increasing or decreasing speed?
