I saw Hyperflight in the UK are selling a small High Start Rubber kit. But I would like to buy it here in the US to reduce freight etc.
Any suggestion on where I can find it?

Thanks

The Best.

We use Thera Band. Simply buy the thickness you like best. It readily available and same material as EMC-Vega Megarubber (the best stuff).

Where do you buy Thera Band?

Is is sport equipment. Just use google and by from the most convenient retailer. Very easy to get.

Mark Mech is THE source for high performance histarts. I just got one from him and I am very impressed with the quality of the materials. Worth every penny to have a complete histart show up in the mail.

Thanks Tuomo. I had a look, not that many suppliers to Ireland, and not cheap. But good latex rubber is probably never cheap I guess.

I think that depends who is asking you does it not? I got asked that question at the SWC this year and I guess she liked my answer...see picture

I used to recommend the Pinnacle Hi-starts from NESailplane, but since they closed, Hosemonster is getting my recommendations.

Hobby-Lobby's rubber has gotten good recommendations in the past as well.

I went with Hosemonster, and I was very happy with the service I got from Mark.

FWIW, we did a pull test on the 3 meter rubber. At 3X stretch we were getting 19 pounds of pull which is plenty to launch anything up to about 4.5 pounds with a solid launch or 6 pounds with an adequate launch. Add a little breeze an they really go up!

That was my finding as well.

I purchased the 4 meter high start kit. I only use half of the 100ft rubber part and 200ft of the 500ft line. It puts my 3.5 Xplorer up higher than I need. I ended up selling the other 50ft of rubber as there was no need for it.
