RE: [RCSE] need source for winch turnarounds

[Jim Laurel]

WinchDoc, Are you still able to build complete winch setups?  I would like to buy one of yours.  Several people at our club have them and they are wonderful.  Perhaps you have a new or nearly new one for sale?   Best Regards, --Jim Laurel Seattle Soaring Society   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 27, 2005 3:33 PM To: Bob Crane; soaring@airage.com Subject: Re: [RCSE] need source for winch turnarounds   I have a few left in stock, they are $75 each shipped.   I just sent a batch to Tom Copp (Mr. F3X.com) and he will have them for sale at Visalia. Come and Get 'em!!! (free plug for ya TC)   These pulleys work well with braided line or monofilament, as they have a larger diameter sheave than other pulleys. This means the mono dosen't have to bend around such a small radius, and the bearing RPM is lower for any given line speed. The only downside is that you can't pull the chute thru the pulley at the end of the day.   If you absolutely HAVE to be able to pull the chute thru your turnaround, Tim Mcann's pulley will allow this. I just never saw it as a big requirement, as you have to go up there and get the pulley at the end of the day anyway, and clanging the chute thru the turnaround is a good way to bugger the pulley, and over stress the chute. IMHO, the larger diameter far outweighs the chute clearance thing.   WinchDoc     > what is the best winch turnaround? and where do i get it? thanks for > ur help > > bob
