My suggestion would be 52' lines of .012 diameter

     Thanks guys! That is good news as I have a couple sets of lines left over from my Shark 15 days. 

      Stay well,

      Frank

In windy old Britain, I always used to fly 1.5cc quasi-Flite Streak models on 45' steel lines, and would have expected to use 48' - 50' for a 2cc model.  Using the appropriate Spectra, 50' and 52' respectively should be fine.
