I have a red ant winch that I’ve been using with lifo 6.4v battery without any issues. Thought I’d try a Lipo 7.4v battery that has an xt30 connector that is if recall correctly into the flysky reciever using a dean connector. When I tried it I ended up with an alarm constantly ringing on the flysky transmitter so I reverted back the the lifo battery. Anyone have any idea the cause as I’d really like to use the red ant winch to its full potential. Is it anything to do with the issues mentioned above? Thanks in advance. Guy

Thanks for the settings, ONE thing to lookout for are the throttle curve settings as they effectively set the end points and will override any winch settings. I've damaged my DF which I can repair relatively easily. Fortunately had not tried them on my IOM where the consequences could have been far more serious.

I don’t normally comment on posts, but whilst there is considerable debate as to the function/effect of the viss’s vang arrangements eg the perceived extra ‘sail’ extra it provides. The rules as they stand allow far greater design changes that improve the ‘unmeasured’ sail area namely the design of decks to improve the end -plate effect on the main as seen in the Viss and I suspect Brad’s post punk design and others. These I’d suggest have far greater effect on a boats performance than the kickers in question. The bulkhead forward of most masts acts as additional ‘area’ but the design feature is not banded? At the end of the day the vang is there to provide mainsail leach tension and rules as they stand allow this. Not sure what the issue is?

Would be interesting to do the same scoring by design rather than by skipper?
