Status: offline 		I am considering using the dynaflite heavy-duty hi-start http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?Q=&I=LXE636 for my GP Spirit. This hi-start is rated for wingspans 120" and below but is it too much for the 78" spirit ? I want a hi-start that I can still use as I upgrade to longer spans. TIA......

All the ohters are pretty much junk, from what I've seen.
My very slight preference would be aerofoam.
Also, don't try to get a one-size-fits-all. A nice 2 meter or standard hi start will not launch a 3+ meter ship, and a 3meter+ histart will not do a good job w/ your 2M spirit.
I'd recommed either the aerofoam heavy duty 2m, or the NSP standard, to get you started out right.

Status: offline 		I have a spirt & a dynaflight std Hi Start It is not sufficient to gain much altitude on a launch . It has 50' of rubber & 150' or so of string . I can get maybe 100' of altitude max so far. I am launching at about45d up angle and an amazing amount of stretch (3x or so). !/4" rubber is ok more mould pull the wings off I think --but 100'of rubber would be better. Already using 300'+ of field . that would mean 450'+ of field may have to go to a power pod.
