RE: [RCSE] 279 MPH - New DS world record

2005-10-08 Thread Don Copley

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. Don -Original Message- From: Vince Herm
