I'm not too sure exactly how to do it. But, I think you make sure your throttle trim is at zero. Put your throttle stick all the way up to full power. Plug your battery to your ESC. And drop the throttle stick all the way to the bottom as soon as you hear the first set of beeps when you plug the battery into the ESC.

Watch the Youtube vids on it, especially the launching ones. I don't have the landing gear on mine and i'm ready for a 2nd one, but i still won't get the optional gear. It's really a great, fun little bird that's a blast to fly. I've got a Spektrum rx with safe and as3x set up and usually take this bird with me every time i fly...
great! And the 2200 mah battery not too heavy?

OK, so here's the thing you say Spek 2200 3S and there are three of them 30C, 50C and 100C with three different weights and dimensions. Each will effect the balance and performance of the plane. Usually C value will add a little more power the higher the C (but true C is notoriously not the same as advertised C). Also the heavier the battery the more that plane needs to push and of course different physical sizes may mean one fits and another doesn't.
Let me say I own hundreds of LiPos and I don't own a single Spektrum, I just don't feel they are a good battery or a good value (a lower performing battery at a great cheap price).
The Spek 2200 3S, 30C, 50C and 100C weigh 180g, 210g and 160g respectfully according to HH (the 210g 50C seems odd).
A generic HRB 2200 30C is 172g and a Tattu 1800 75C is 159g and a Roaring Top 1800 35C is 147g, all off Amazon listed specs.
Oh, RC Battery is an up and coming very popular battery site, they only do RC batteries. Their C ratings seem to be much better than many others even though the number on the label is lower. Their 1800 25C is 152g and it's only $12.99.

My point is that the battery is a critical decision and you may find a better choice in battery and at a cheaper price point. I make no recommendations as far as any of these batteries, they were just easy to google.

Are any of you flying both the F-105 and Crusader? I'd like to know if they are similar or different to fly.
I got beat up F-105 from a club member, added separate elevator servos, and am having a blast flying it. Toss and boss it indeed! I never flew it on two servos only but I love that with four I can have flaps. With flaps and a Tattu 1800 3s. Hand launches are a non event, they are easy. So I'm thinking of doing the same with a Crusader.
