New winch height record
Del C wrote:
John, With the Tost winches we use at Lasham, the pilot has no control over the speed, unlike the torque or tension controlled Supacat or MEL winches. Exactly the same applies to a V-8 diesel Supacat with its high torque output - an Ash-25 might control the winch speed but a K-21 has no chance. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
