With Aero 2025 fast approaching, Skylaunch can now announce prices for the Skylaunch EVO Electro. This winch has proven Skylaunch mechanicals, with electric drive.
The winch is available as a Plug-in or Cordless version, to suit the needs of your airfield and club.
The winch has been developed by the usual team of Skylaunch engineers, winch drivers and pilots, with further contributions from electronics, motor-drive and battery experts. This ensures we can offer the best electric winch available, both mechanically and electronically. The core Skylaunch team, after many years of working with V8-engined winches, have gained significant expertise in electronic systems themselves during this process also.
Launches are super-smooth, safe and can achieve the standard Skylaunch benchmark of 40-45% of launch run length in nil wind. Operation is simple, straightforward and repeatable, with torque-controlled launching giving accurate speed control in the climb.
Servicing is much reduced compared with combustion-engined models. Energy use is typically 0.8-1.5kWh per launch depending on glider type and runway length. The Plug-in winch needs a power supply point at the end of the runway. The Cordless winch can launch all day, then charge overnight, or launch at the weekend and solar-charge during the week for zero energy-cost launching.
It is great to add this latest Cordless model to our line-up and we are pleased to see such enthusiasm for it at Menden-Barge airfield during delivery training last weekend.
