 Hi All, 
 
 My son and I like to fly sailplanes whenever we can and I'd like to 
 purchase a high start so I don't have to drag out the winch when we 
 want to go out for a few quick flights. What's a good high start 
 that will work with smaller planes and also get my Mantis in the 
 air? I don't need spectacular launches with the Mantis, just want to 
 get high enough to look for a couple of thermals. More concerned 
 about getting my boy's planes (he's 12) up without exploding them so 
 he can learn how to launch. 
 
 Really like to get one that will last a while (unlike the old up 
 starts that would fall apart after one season.) 
 
 Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
 
 Happy flying,

I think you will be well served with a Pinnacle Standard  hi-start:
http://www.nesail.com/detail.php?productID=875

or one of the Hosemonster Hi-starts from www.aerofoam.com

You don't say what your son has so I can't judge the size or strength.
Assuming it is some kind of a 2 Meter, I would recommend the Pinnacle
Standard which will also launch your Mantis, or the Aerofoam 2M competition.

Best Regards,
Ed Anderson
