[RCSE] Re: Winch motor timing
Allan - Rotating the end cap into the direction ofshaft rotation advances the timing. As to how far you need to advance it, that's your call. It isdependant on your style, what king of planes you fly, winch drum diameter, how much string you keep on the spool, battery condition, and what direction the wind is blowing.Personally I keep mine just a couple degrees advanced from the stock setting. My brushes and windings last pretty well. I can still throw an Icon to the moon. I am giving up a bit of line speed and getting a bitmore torque by retarding the timing a bit from a more advanced setting. One thing to watch for is battery and wiring problems. If the voltage to the motor is reduced for any reason it will stall more easily, overheat quicker, and start melting stuff. happy trails - Rob G I'm reinstalling "Real Balls" on all of our club winches and I would like to get a definitive answer as to how to advance/retard the timing on them. All of the links on the "Winch Doc" site are down,so any advice would be appreciated. I currently have one set-up with an Injoy motor that is so "hot" it melts the field leads in half. It does however give you some really exciting launches ! Allan ParsonsOrlando Buzzards

Just to make it very clear, what Rob means by "INTO the direction of shaft rotation" is "OPPOSITE the direction of shaft rotation", both statements meaning the opposite of "IN the direction ofshaft rotation" (which retards timing)- bubbaspeak can be very subtle!. I was advised back when that 6 -8 degrees advance was about right, YMMV. On no account do you want to retard timing, the current goes upa lot. I found all this out on the occasion of reversing a motor to accommodate adding abrake set-up. Good Lift!

It scares me that Skip from the frozen wastelands of the north can actually understand andcompetently translate bubbaspeak. He may be some kind of Yankee spy!

Well shut my mouth. I stand corrected.
