I'd recommend bigger swivels, as they don't swivel much close to their load
limit. Hence I use 300 lb test swivels on my winch line. I'd prefer 2x
the line strength, but the next step up is 500 lb
Hey Guys,
I just finished building a Ford long shaft winch and retriever, using Laser
Arts blueprints. Both units turned out very nice. LAs shop prints were
terrific!
Winch Line:
1. What (1) kind and (2) strength of winch line would you recommend?
2. How much line (feet/yards) is needed
Bill, the line strength depends on what you plan on launching. If you plan to be able
to launch todays high performance planes to
their optimal heigth, I'd recommend #240 braided or mono. I use #240 on mine and we
rarely have a line break. If you have a Gentle
Lady that you want to launch,
3 matches
