Yep 6V winch motor run at 12 V -- that's the way to get the best "6 V
launch height". There are some 6V motors that would wreck just about any
plane -- even run at 6 volts. Not sure what voltage actually has to do
with it. Some guys can launch great or some can botch a launch on any type
of winch.

Why must people take these simple ideas and suggest that the result might
end up at an unacceptable level?
John, "6 Volt Launch Heights" ???
When we talk about balancing winch torque with a #300 lb line, I am pretty
sure we are outside of the 6 volt launch realm...
Darwin, Chico, and Rick won't have any 'splainin to do Lucy..

Or the set up at Visalia. Very few line breaks considering how many
launches they go through on a weekend.
All this resistance talk is good from a technical point of view, but for the
guys at the Southwest Classic they may have a marketing issue on their
hands. "Travel hundreds of miles, spend money staying here and look forward
to 6v launch heights. Guaranteed fewer line breaks".
I hope Chico and company have a good welcoming speech! I'm considering
taking along a smaller plane that might launch higher.

One other thought. The winch setup at the Nats was excellent with
regard to reliability and uniformity. In addition, I did not find the
winches so powerful that they blew my hair back (at least what's left
of it).Perhaps someone who was responsible for the set up of these
winches would like to comment on the setup and what went into setting
them up.
