Hey all,
I study technical theatre at college, and I've heard a few of my friends mention automatic or motorized fly systems. I have never seen or heard from a "valid" source that such a system even exists. Does it? and if so, how popular is it? I can think of some definite cons about it, like not having the control to speed up or slow down a linesets movement on the "fly" if you will, so what are the advantages. Perhaps saving man power, yes. But I personally love flying. I'd rather pull the rope than press a button, it's all part of the magic.
Perhaps someone has some insight in to this?
