[RCSE] Catapulting a 3 m

2000-02-25 Thread dave

I use an NSP Hi Start largest size for everything from 2 meter up to a
Graphite and it works fine even in near zero wind. Not as quick as a
winch but much less hassle when alone.

Wondering..would an NSP Pinnacle Hi Start work for a 2M? ( 50-75 ft red
rubber, and 400 of line)?

 John's setup works very well, I have used it to good effect.
 I personally use 25 ft of the 5/8" OD thick wall stuff, with
 NO LINE.  Gives 80% of the launch height of John's
 setup with 1/3 the walking.  45 second hang time with no
 wind/no lift.  Perfect for landing practice.  Launch height
 improves mucho with some wind.
 (this is the "flutter ANY foamie on boost" rubber, FYI)

Some of you might have seen me using this at Phoenix.
