Replacement rubber for a high start
I have an old hi-start that is in need of a rubber replacement. I would like to buy just the 50' I need and not get all the other stuff. Who has the best pricing for this?

[link]http://www.aerofoam.com[/link] loke for the hose monster link mandrel dipped latex tubing is the BEST thing to use for highstarts[>:]. This stuff will last for years and years. The amber extruded stuff only lasts for a year or two. The extruded stuff is not as abrasion resistant either. you will get more bang for your buck

RE: Replacement rubber for a high start
What size rubber and what size plane are you looking to launch.
You can buy latex tubing on e-bay. That is where I got the 25' lenght for my up-start. $15. Have seen many offers for 50 and 100 foot lengths, but you have to ask as sometimes it is not a single solid piece.
I have also seen brand new hi-starts on e-bay.
I bought my large hi-start, a NE sailplanes standard on e-bay for half the price of new and it is in great shape.
What kind of rubber do you need?
