OTOH...
I would say "real" F3B winches are quite good for TD, especially for
woody planes, if ...... (BIG IF) the pilot does not load up a lot of
tension on the line. We've found my F3B winch a perfect for launching
Oly 2's in my club, as the power is low and the line is stretchy.
Daryl does make an excellent point that a detuned TD winch with a narrow
spool & braided line, might cause some issues with heavier stronger planes.
