seen retrievers wind line small bicycle wheel directly driven starter motor retrieve line manually led around guide usually bicycle hub mounted side wheel problem de sign line twists winding After enough twisting line gets tangled wheel wont play out properly Jim Harger better idea Lets have Jim tell us about new retnever first experience retriever sev eral years ago contest certainly sped things up seemed have some obvious draw backs times seemed trouble worth First required someone quick hands experience operate Also swivel seemed constantly tangle line As engineer challenged come up better design struck inspiration speak fishing day Two years several prototypes later feel have come up design finally makes retriever really usable lighter smaller approx imately 14 x 12 x 12 20 lb bike wheel types since rewinds line spool exactly came off never tangles involved prepare launch pull back hook bale open posi tion Go ahead launch once Glider released towline simply push hold push-button switch until end line has returned about 30 seconds Theres no need touch line during retrieval Its easy Ive eight-year-old son run Ive gotten use flying self hold switch transmitter af ter releasing plane run retriever long enough bring line ground finish bringing after land makes lot less walking lot flying especially days lift scarce Ijust want practice landings Using retriever has also opened up new flying sites letting fly off long narrow fields chute would almost certainly get trouble retriever uses efficient permanent magnet 12-volt motor can run off winch battery spool can hold up 2000 ft 30 lb test dacron line recommended spool angled upwards elevated line guide hoop used help keep line off ground thereby reducing drag working parts steel box made plywood Theres room

im provement Jim sent test unit tried short time found work about advertised Id just advise machine like ab solutely foolproof takes bit care oper ate correctly Like retrievers retrieving line light tends blow around cross winds Also unless get line back before hits ground weeds may snag cause breaks give us some direct feedback someone has used over longer period Jim asked Pete Vredenlung Holmes New York write about experience Petes letter Jim Harger mentioned inter ested some user feedback E-Z Re triever Its great little machine have no trou ble doing one-man launches retrieves automatic bail mechanism negates need re thread line before power applied Jim sup plies well-made line guide two hold-down pegs battery clamps push button switch about six feet cord Im using retriever Sport winch has elastic brake think retriever working against brake because has bit tough time have long haul run turn around out about 2000 feet WowBB through two three foot grass Jim told go ing slightly powerful gearing ratio next batch machines compensate us haul over country mile rough stuff think decrease retriever speed will factor because now have no trouble pulling down high launch 15 mph
