Scale Winch
B307115

The winch is now divided into two components to improve long term reliability, maintenance and make installation easier. The winch is controlled by a heavy duty switch that is actuated by the included servo for raise, stop and lower.

The winch is powered from a separate battery and conveniently includes the normal servo connector to use a standard receiver battery.

The included red bobbin weight is attached to the end of the winch cable and is very scale when used on rescue models, but can just as easily be replaced with a basket or cargo lift harness.

Instruction Manual

The remote controlled, operating winch comes complete as pictured. The winch mechanics are small and compact to fit inside a winch mount enclosure like the Baumann B307116 Winch Mount that is commonly located externally, just above the cabin door or inside the cabin with a swing arm that pivots when the cabin door is open. Either way, this winch will make a scale rescue basket, safety harness or cargo lift completely operational.

Connect the servo lead to any 3 position switched channel. Move the switch to its center position and attach the servo horn and its linkage for the stop position on the switch. Check the endpoints to ensure the switch doesn't bind or mechanically move the pushrod to a hole closer to the servo to avoid any binding and that's it. You are now ready to start experimenting to raise, lower and stop. The winch is well designed and includes a safety stop to avoid binding the winch if the cable is run to its endpoints.

For those that have the original winch design, this is a bit of step backwards in some ways but scale pilots will agree that simple and reliable can be much better than integrated and difficult to maintain. Customer feedback led to separating the winch module from its control system so that in certain installations where the winch is mounted further from the control switch module, It can be easily lengthened by only extending the power wires.

Using a mechanical switch for winch control made installation with all radios possible. Setup the auxillary switch endpoints to be the same, or mechanically reduce the servo throw to avoid binding the servo and attach the servo horn when the servo is centered and you are done. To simplify your battery installation, it is recommended to use another switch harness with charge lead or charge connector to allow you to manually turn off the winch and charge its battery independent of your receiver's battery.
