Vince, I have the Grande version I was gonna say the XL but others beat me to it. I also use a hi-start on, you need a lot of pull to launch these birds. I usually feel a good 20 lbs to 30 lbs pull or walk about 90 paces on my old deluxe high start.

After getting the Aquila name, I was able to direct my research online. The Grande has a WS of a bit over 120". The XL has 150", so it looks like I have the XL. I did get to do some test flights this weekend. I launched it with the histart for my 2 meter ships. I did not get much altitude, about 50 or 60 feet, but it was enough to make some beautiful circuits around the field. I have thicker tubing designed for heavier ships, but I need to get some line to attach to it. Again, thanks for the help. I'll start a new thread to ask questions about the Mystery Ship and the BoT.
