Your statement is somewhat true Jerry. THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE DYNAFLIGHT BOT ARF!!! So, it doesn't matter if your using a hi-start or a winch, the wings will fail. I was using a winch, but very very lightly and my wings failed. The wings should NOT fail under that load. I spoke with Tower support and they are aware of the defect and are offering refunds to customers. All you have to do is call Tower Hobbies Customer Service(1-217-398-0007) and they will send you a paid postage label to send the remains back in.

Not every tow has to be a zoom tow. It is no secret that BOT's will fold under high launch loads, They folded 20 years ago under high launch loads. They were designed to be launched from 6 volt winches and pulsed. That is the kind of winch most people used then. BOT's fly fine; launch then as they were designed to be launched to be launched.
