Are skylaunch winches easy to operate and maintain for non-professional drivers?
Skylaunch winches feature simple design and ergonomic control layouts. Existing winch drivers can learn to operate the Skylaunch within 6 launches. Selectable power control guides and colour coded controls ensure operators easily/safely produce accurate, high launches. Throttle damper controls glider acceleration. With very few daily checks, this gives a rapid set up time. Service intervals are normally every 6,000 launches. Servicing requires only a basic mechanical knowledge. The body panels are designed for quick/easy access to all areas, the low level of the winch improves safety and maintenance access. Design does NOT require cable ‘paying-on’ gear, pneumatic, hydraulic or complex electrical systems. Logical design ensures a low maintenance and driver friendly winch. The chassis design allows major mechanical units to be removed quickly from the winch as complete assemblies if required.
