What to check before you buy
- Usable cable height
- Check cable length alongside working height, cable angle, wind drag and the aircraft's ability to lift the deployed cable.
- Ground power capacity
- Match ground input and continuous output to aircraft hover power, payload demand and conversion losses.
- Airborne conversion
- Check the onboard power module's voltage, cooling, mass and compatibility with the aircraft's battery system.
- Winch tension control
- Check automatic payout, retrieval and tension control during climb, descent and gusts.
- Power-loss response
- Check backup battery duration and how the aircraft and winch respond when ground power or tether supply is lost.
- System contents
- Ask whether the listing includes the aircraft, ground supply, cable reel, airborne module and lighting payload.
