winch
Pat, Frank described it the same way I would except the winch is positioned low on the floor and attached to both the floor and a center vertical support of the hangar. You should install a stop ball or other object in the single line as a safety stop so if the rewind or pull switch gets stuck, the ball will jam the face of the winch so as not to continue to pull on the plane. Attaching the second line with hooks or clamps on each end to the main landing gear is the strongest place to pull the plane from. The winch line is hooked onto the the center of the line that is attached to the landing gear, forming sort of a Y with the cables. Make sure you have a long enough electrical control line so when you steer the plane in the hanger with the tow bar you can hold your finger on the IN button. When the plane is in place, stop depressing the IN button, loosen the tension on the pull line and detach from the plane.
Cheers
Jerry
