R.E. Comparative testing of high start(s) .. rubber, etc. I may have missed some comments as this string has run a long time. However, it seems like there is now some talk about doing come comparative testing. There are several aspects to the testing, not the least of which is how good a unit (or whatever you call a single high start) is after it is a couple of years old and has a few hundred launches on it. In other words, one new unit might pull harder that another, but as everyone knows as time goes on, the rubber relaxes eventually providing only a fraction of the original strength. I own two units, one of which is twenty years old. It's strength has been the same for the last decade and is still adequate for OLY II's and such stuff up to ~ 60oz. Two years ago, I bought a unit from NSP which was great at first but seems to lost about 1/2 of it's strength. It will still launch 70oz ships, but instead of the 50-60 paces (to stretch it to the required pull) required when new, it now takes about 100! So if you are going to do testing, consider the domain. At $100+ these are not exactly throw-always. D.O. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News. Send "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
