> (We need to start thinking about alternative motors). I've wondered about this. I'm currently rebuilding my longshaft winch after about a 17 year absence from the sport and got to wondering why we couldn't just use a normal (shortshaft?) motor with with a pulley to a belt to a shaft forward of the motor with the drum mounted to it. Seems to me they used to do it this way many moons ago when I last flew. Maybe a little more complicated mechanically but perhaps offset to a degree by the availability of newer motors. Have the longshaft winches become "standardized"?
