After the intital hang glider tests, we conducted the first test tow of a paraglider. The winch makes use of a QS E-Bike Hub Motor and Trampa VESC 100 250 controller with customised software
Looking good mate !!! Now the bigger motor for us fat buggers :) I dig the retrieve function for smaller paddocks where we cannot drive for a few KM, could even loop over a fence with a pulley or nylon scuff strip :)
Howdy, I converted to use the transmitter receiver below, which a very high gain antenna on the reciver end on the full unit I finsihed. It must be the 4 + 2 varient. Allows manual control via stick and autonomous self tow cycle modes and auto rewind via the function buttons with the stick transitioning to a tounch sensitive "e-stop" in self tow mode.(1. Layout2.Take up 20kg tension 3 Launch Tension4. Full tension. 5 Roll off tow and release. F2 Rewind to 30 meters out, with various tensions set\configured via smartphone) I have unfortunately ground to a halt a few months ago). I have the software finished but really want to rigerously test the fail safes and logic before I shared it. www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004564257095.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.ee1b1802Gx6ujE
