I'd say that your non-existent ping indicates that your histart doesn't have much stored energy by the time your plane reaches altitude.
And, I don't think that is necessarily a bad thing because it means your using most of the histart's energy. If you design the histart to have energy left over, you'll often be wasting some stored energy. If you can get a decent ping, fine. But that's a big if. The rubber doesn't have much tension or energy once you're nearing the top. So, my question is; can a decent ping be done. At the moment, I'd vote no. You could possibly shorten the line in order to reach the top quicker and with more stored energy remaining. But then you'd have to depend on a good ping every time. I don't think it's worth it.
