This compact glider winch design has been proven over 30 years operation and the latest model is the Skylaunch “Evolution”. The Evo model is mechanically almost the same as the original but with many improvements.
Robust design with many safety features ensures a reliable, easily operated and maintained, long life machine.
The lightweight winch is easily towed on soft airfield or on highway with a 4 x 4 vehicle (or similar). A trailer unit is now optional, so the winch can be truck-mounted if required.
The winch is available in three basic stages of build with many options available.
The Evo chassis is 300mm longer, improving access and cable self pay-on onto drums.
Simple colour-coded controls are ergonomically positioned for safe launching. Both cable drum brakes are controlled by a single lever.
Unique preset selectors for glider air speed/tension and head wind speed to launch ALL weights and/or speeds of glider – any glider type is accurately launched with ease (throttle is damped to control acceleration rate).
Glider winch drivers are typically converted to Skylaunch operation within six launches.
