Designed to launch a 2M up to a Sky Bird or Challenger. That means wing spans from 78 to 145 inch Sailplanes.
The Hi Start as shown above is ready to use out of the box.
Test Proven in my Wood Crafters events and my personal flying.
Overall length ... 280 feet ... Stretches from 20 to 45 paces.
The rubber is made on a mandrel, applied by skilled craftsmen's hands, as opposed to cheap extruded latex. I use black rubber because it wards off the damaging UV rays much more than any other color or lack of color. There is a huge difference in stretchability and durability between latex and hand laid on a mandrel rubber.
I use the storage Winder with a Handle, I discovered it is by far easier to use than any other style.
Includes Top Quality Parachute.

The black rubber Sky Bench uses last for years and years, mfg. is hand laid on a mandrel, not the cheap, short lasting, extruded rubber. Tow Line is braided for easy use and durability and our reel is compact for easy transport. Suggestion, get a buddy or two or three, the more the merrier and put everyone on a Mini Hi Start and launch as a group. You can fly all up last down or predetermined task times, but what every you do, I guarantee you will have a ball if you fly with your buddies from a Sky Bench Mini Hi Start. We did this at the Wood Crafters Soar In Reunion and it is very popular. We call it F 1.5 J, Man on Man group launching of hand launch size sailplanes. The event is scored simply. We fly for a predetermined task time in groups of three or four and fly about six rounds. The winner of the round receives a score of one, second place receives a 2 and etc., the winners of each round fly against the winners of the other rounds, 2nd and third placers do the same. The person with the lowest accumulated score at the end of the six rounds wins, but we usually have ties and a fly off to determine the winner adds to the fun. | |
