RocHobby Swift High Speed Hand Launch Advice

[Bill]

Anyone with advice on hand-launching the Swift (Control throws and Throttle)? Two of the reviews state to set the elevator (elevon) trim upward about the thickness of the elevon to prevent nosedive at launch.
I have mucho trouble with hand launches.
Thanks,
Bill

I fly mine with 30% + expo & my low rates are 65
my trim is even with wing...no up trim for me

I launch mine at 80% throttle upwards around 10 oclock or 2 oclock...depends on which way you are facing <smiley image="smiley_happy.gif"/> there is a little left torque roll...but if you give it a GOOD throw (don't toss it up) at a higher angle...you can correct in plenty of time

if you are having power problems...make sure you have the prop facing the correct direction !!! lettering on prop facing the front of the plane !!

hope this helps a little
