Re: (ET) Lift motor control

["steves" <ssawtelle fcc net>]

I think the idea would be to run the controller at no more than 1/2 
'power'.
If it is a PWM controller then I would think running it at half throttle
would provide an average 18V to the motor. I'm getting out of my area of
knowledge here, though, so those better informed correct me if I'm wrong!

If this idea is right then one could build a fixed controller that is 50%
duty cycle - would be fairly simple.
