Obviously there are a bunch of variables to this...
Line Length?
Wind direction and strength.
Was the battery fully charged, was the battery generator backed up...
Did the long shaft have real balls?
My logged launches never had a retriever attached.
Is the pilot any good at launching?
I have logged launches over 700' with my ICON on our FORD long shaft winches with greater than 6 seconds of zoom.
P.S. And I definitely know several guys that launch better than I do. So maybe this will give you some kind of approximation.

Eddie,
Go to www.yntdesign.com, mouse over the menu to Electronics, then select the Lo-Lo. This will bring you to a page with a write-up by Jim Bacus that has some data graphs, etc. Looks like he was doing right at 600' on launch.

Hi Guys .... when you launch on your ford long shaft motors with your non stretch line what would your best height be ? Assuming a good F3b model and no drag from your line retrievers. I don't want a guess a test using a LoLo would be nice.
