Building Her First Towline Glider & Winch - Start to Finish

Zinnia's first 'reel' experience with free-flight came with this simple, sheet balsa towline glider. The 26" model is based on this 36" sheet glider by Ron Warring from 1959. The film includes a few details of a new towline winch, using a 20:1 winder. Tutorial on making a similar winch for towline: https://youtu.be/7vpvDWrKTsI
