Germans have had an electric winch for a long time. Nothing now. Don't hold your breath for one built in the US. Won't happen. Charge with an internal combustion engine? What's the point? Why not just use a piston engine for the winch then? -- gotovkotzepkoi Hi Goto, oh my god! Let's not do something new! Lets not leave the beaten path! That's exactly how we ended up with planes still powered by '30s technology - no progress there for decades. As Herb said, Bill's design and development is a huge step forward and it should be supported by the US-soaring community because it will make a difference in the future! Uli 'AS'
