- Designed for durability with a minimum of maintenance.
- Increased launch heights up to 30% compared to conventional winches with similar cable lengths.
- Maximum cable length 8000 ft for a launch height of 4000 ft. in normal conditions.
- Constant and high quality launch performance by an electronic control system, less dependant on the winch driver skills.
- The winch driver can instinctively overrule the electronic control system.
- "Pilot in command": The electronics sense multiple parameters during the launch and it continually optimises the acceleration, speed and force, providing the pilot full control over the airspeed of his glider.
- Weak links should not break, even under turbulent conditions.
- Only proven industrial components are used for mechanics, hydraulics and electronics.
- Fairleads and drums are optimized to reduce abrasion of Spectra and plasma cables, which limits operational cost.
