[RCSE] F3b winch?
Does anyone have a used F3b winch for sale? I just bought a new one, and so did a buddy, but he wants a cheap second. Anyone have one for sale. Thanks, David -- David Klein Graduate Research Student Department of Structural Engineering Jacobs School of Engineering University of California San Diego
[RCSE] F3b winch FS
Hello guys, As I have become more focussed on F3b, I have purchased a new, more blinged-out winch and a bunch of new mono filament line. In oder to suplament this addictive habit, I have to sell my current F3b winch. With all of the current interest in F3b, the used winch market has become scarce, so don't think about this one too long. I expect it to go fast. I bought this winch and turnaround from Aaron Valdes around January of 2007. I have used it for a little more than a year. It functions perfectly. It includes, the winch, a pedal, a hand switch to be used in stead of the pedal, the turnaround, an F3b parachute, and whatever line is currently on the winch. If you are interested in seeing it in person, I will be using it this weekend at the Torrey Pines Gulls TD field in Poway, Ca. I will also be using it at the upcoming F3b competition in the Cal Valley. I prefer a local California pickup, as I can get it to most people in CA without shipping. But I will consider shipping it at the expense of the buyer. So I am asking $750 for the complete package, plus any shipping costs. To put that into perspective, I am paying $2115.00 for my new gear from Europe. Here is a link to the sale on RCGroups.com, lots of pictures http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=850173#post9570106 Thank You, David Klein -- David Klein Graduate Research Student Department of Structural Engineering Jacobs School of Engineering University of California San Diego
Re: [RCSE] F3B winch for TD?
Why would you want to replace monofilament with braided line. That would be too boring. Mono launches are more fun.

Re: [RCSE] F3B winch for TD?
If you like sucky launches... F3B winches are designed with mono in mind. They're weaker and don't have the drum speed to use a line with zero stretch. You might get away with it for launching light RES stuff. Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Can an F3B winch be used for normal TD launching if the monofilament is taken of and 290 test line put on.

[RCSE] F3B winch tester.
One of my flying friends bought a DC clamp current adaptor for his electric glider. His current adaptor inspired me a winch tester. We don't need 0.1 milli ohm resister which connects in a circuit.
