| I never had any trouble launching them the way they suggest in the instructions, except I do it at full throttle. The method I refer to is where you hold it in the palm of your throwing hand on the bottom, with your thumb hooked over the leading edge. Your fingers will be pointing backwards. It does seem a bit un-coordinated at first. You need to take a step or two (no need to run), and follow through.
I never found holes in the bottom to be necessary.
A friend of mine uses the discuss launch method. You'll find information on this on RC glider related sites.
They are a lot of fun to fly, and can fly just about anywhere. They are somewhat fast, so you can't fly them in small places, where, say, you could fly a GWS Tiger Moth. |
