Re: Winch winding with a fusee

I like the idea, but in my opinion, it's not worth the extra complexity for a marginal gain in reset speed.

Also, in the beginning their is less load from the tension part of the mechanism, but their is more inertia to overcome as the motor and gear train spin up. So I'm not sure how much difference it would make. Very cool concept though.
