Default Mini-Winch for FES

I'm not saying getting the catapult right would be easy, but it definitely has a different operational spec than a winch or autotow.

Heck, let's go for altitude also! Try the Trebuchet. Judging by the altitude Monty Python got using a cow, you ought to be able to fling a 1-26 at least Silver Distance!
