Re: [RCSE] Hollyday Hi-starts
I realize that the going opinion of their rubber is that it's the best but... You can get a Pinnacle L model for $85 while the matching Hollyday 3M hi-start is $120. The Pinnacle is reputed to be a solid performer so is it really worth 30% more to by the Hollyday, especially if you are going to make limited use of the hi-start? If you are going to make "limited use" of a hi-start, why buy a premium, pre-assembled hi-start at all? Just buy the rubber from Rich and assemble the rest of the components on your own. - David [EMAIL PROTECTED] RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.

Re: [RCSE] Hollyday Hi-starts
Honestly, if the rest of the highstart is as good as the rubber it will be worth the price. Consider what a winch costs. Their higstarts are as close to a winch as any highstart will ever be. You probably can assemble a highstart from their rubber cheaper than you can buy one. Of course, it will take time and effort.

Re: [RCSE] Hollyday Hi-starts
How in the heck can it be "as close to a winch"? A parson who is using a high start can only achieve the energy of the Pinnacle, Hollyday Hi-start, or fill in the name to the amount of pull they can sustain prior to release, and with a winch you can continue the force all the way up the line. How is the Hollyday Hi Start better then anything else? Dose it have some mysterious acceleration properties in the rubber? In my opinion the Pinnacle is over priced for what it is, but I own one and I stretch it to the limit of my strength the same way you would stretch a Hollyday Hi-start. Is it worth it? Has anyone done a side by side test?
