I shall be making any ratio that anyone might want up to 50:1. Ciao, Phedon.

Leroy
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!
