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.
