Default RE: small drum wheel for Hitec sailwind HS-785HB

I was looking for one as well, but never found one.  A previously good mate said "I just turned one up out of wood on the lathe".  Grrr...Basically, it was a wooden pulley bolted to the original Hitec drum.  There might be something in the LHS that could be used like that.<div>With a winch that powerful, and that set amount of travel, there is always the problem that if it over-runs, it can break rigging, snap fittings, or even pull its mount out of the hull (don't ask!).  </div><div>Is there room for a standard size servo and an arm?  There are high torque servos from places like Howes of  Oxford at a modest price.</div>
