A firm grip is required!

 

It was blowing 15 mph at the slope edge, I had a friend launch it. I tried small control movements (left/right/up/down) in his hands to get an idea of the response, very powerful and I was asked to stop!. A gentle push and it was away.

 

I launched the second flight myself (knowing that it was in trim), right hand on the fuselage and left hand on the wing leading edge, I have a transmitter harness that makes doing this (and bungee/winch launching) possible though you have to get on the sticks quickly.

 

Talking of sticks it only needs one to fly it, I still wanted to move my thumb for the rudder! Airbrakes are on the left stick (same as throttle/Mode 2), I didn't use them for the first landing as I went too far back.

 

Itching to fly it again!
