Since it was a rudder/elevator model I had the winch on the throttle stick.
Dont see why I need a arming switch. I dont have that on my normal winch
either. And anyone can step on the pedal.... (or turn it over like on
Nats..)

Very cool... Yep, you have too much time on your hands... You remind me of
a local friend....
One question since it is controlled by your tranny that is also
controlling your plane, do you have an arming switch?
I could see the slider getting knocked and making a mess out of
everything.
Hey Mike does he remind you of anyone.?????

Some years ago (nov.01 in my diary) I made a small winch for a scratch
built model I made (made from scrap materials). I did it all just for
fun. Guess I had too much time at the moment!
I used a speed 400 motor, small Rx and 7 cells. I operated the winch with
my transmitter so that I could adjust the power. I even used it indoor.
Very cool. Zoom of hard and "smack" in the ceiling ;-)
Did not need a trunaround but tried that also.
The only problem was that the line was so thin that it could easily
become a mess.

Here's a quick idea. Get a small wiper motor from junk yard for $5 - $10
=
or someplace like this:

Make sure it can free turn, or you will need a needle clutch bearing on

the spool and a couple of collars. =20
I got a UPS (computer back up) battery from Wilson Trucking Surplus for
=
$8 (you might even get a free one from some company that discards them =
every couple of years), the board and 2x2 from scrap, the eye screw for
=
.30, the receiver for $18, the servo for $10, the leaf switch from Radio

Shack for $2.49. The wire to receiver is a standard R/C charging =
switch. The wire to motor and switch is just some heavier wire. Fishing

line would be Firewire or something like that. Using a momentary switch

on the radio, you can run it to launch your HL. Basically, you can make

this for under $50.
Anyhow, I posted a quick concept drawing here:
