I'm in the same boat with my 15:1 winder and I hadn't thought about the
mental adjustment needed to change. I agree, Phedon's sounds like a
deal.

I think you can control your winding speed with whatever gear ratio
you're using. It's my impression that a low ratio like 10:1 becomes real
important in winding .6g F1D motors until they scream. For the classes I
fly I don't think it's as much of a necessity.
The problem I DO have with a 25:1 ratio is that all my flight data and
all my motor test data for most of my flying career is based on winder
turns of a 20:1 winder. I never even think about actual turns so my whole
mental approach to winding would be messed up with a 25:1 winder. If I
didn't have that problem I'd be ordering one of Phedon's winders. It
sounds like a super deal!

Subject: [Indoor_Construction] Winding Question
With all this talk about high winder ratios 20:1; 25:1 I have to ask. I
was told that one should wind very slowly to get the max turns in a motor
(and feel that I wind too fast during a contest in order to get my
attempts in the limited time frame), can this be done with a 25:1 winder
ratio? I would love to be able to do less work and faster when winding
multiple times but thought I was pushing it with my little yellow 15:1
winder.
