The best (for other than f3J)is a low to the
ground unit. The ones with stakes can get fowled with downwind or over the
top launches. The tall stake units often catch the line and make for long walks
to untangle.
Using an aircraft pulley on a low pivot bearing is
ideal. The line can't get

To answer the question we need to know what you want do with the WD. Are you planing to fly in F5J contests or is it just a fun flying plane?
Current rules for F5J require a speed 400 motor and a max cell count of 8. For fun flying many more options open up.
For the F5J plane the motor of
Absolutely NOT. The best turnaround is one that can follow the plane.
The reason, if someone comes off the launch to the side, or snaps on
the launch the plane will veer hard to the side. The fixed turnaround
limits their ability to recover. The floating one follows the tension.

When I first picked up my A-4 turnaround as part of my McCann winch

Then I figured out all I need to do is take off the chute prior to

You are correct in that you can run the WD on a direct drive S400. However if you are going to compete in F5J you will need to put the gear box in. Performance costs money.FredMcClungAlbuquerqueNM--"Douglas,Brent"[EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote:

I've been using Tim McCann's TA-3 turn-around for more than four years
without a single problem. (Being able to pull the chute (safely) through
the pulley is a big time saver too.)
The TA-3 is a great product and I'm very happy with this piece of equipment.

Sorry, but it follows the plane as good as any low turnaround out there. It

I will bring it to the next contest for you to see. It is low to the ground

Actually the other turnarounds are better for downwind launches...
Maybe you should see how we go around the back. You can't with a ground

And if you do a conventional launch it isn't too much of a problem if
you hit the pedal for 1-2 seconds after the zoom.

Yes, the TA4 is a good unit, but a bit cumbersome for me. I should have
