I use 20 meters of the blue 8mm tubing with my 2 meter gliders. With 300 feet of heavy duty fishing line it makes for a gentle but fast climb to 300 feet or more easily, I will be ordering two more 10 meter pieces as soon as their back in stock, an additional 10 meters of tubing would be nice for the low wind days an the other 10 should easily launch my ducted fan plane.
