Winch Building Speaker presentation at the 2016 Convention in Greenville
Here is one of the speaker presentations planned for the 2016 SSA convention in Greenville SC FEB. 18 - 20. The winch this presentation is based on will be on display in front of the Carolina Soaring booth.
http://ssaconvention.org/ Building & Operating a Winch-What I Would Do Differently if I Did It Again Ulrich (Uli) Neumann Five years of winch operation at Carolina Soaring Association: What have we learnt, what would we do different if we had to do it over again, what's in the future? More than five years ago, the members of CSA embarked on the journey of building a winch. There have been many iterations before the winch was at the state it is today. This paper is a summary of past experiences and what we would do to improve a future winch. Uli is a Mechanical Engineer working in the field of Wind Energy. He began flying gliders in 1974 in Germany, and did most of his training by winch launch. He became a winch operator in 1976. Uli is responsible for redesigning the drive-train as well as many of the sub-systems on the Carolina Soaring Association winch, which may be displayed at the convention. SF |
