Default RE: 50- 60 in. Span Glider

Thanks for the advice. Took my Hi-Start out of the closet after 15 years and noticed it's still in good shape, wax still on the outside of the bungee. I noticed the bungee is about 30-40 ft. long, with parachute, and non-strech line connected, not sure how long the non-strech line is, but it's all stock. Seems to be a strong Hi-Start, 8lb or more when stretched. I believe it's a standard Hi-Start. I no longer have the GL, but when I tried to launch it, fuselage wanted to crack because of how hard I was pulling on the tow line. perhaps I just need a stronger sailplane, looking at the ARF's. If you guys know of any great ARF's let me know.

Thankyou again,

Pearl
