Default how do you launch a shrike 40?

I usually have on guy chuck mine in the air. I run a TT46pro with a 9/7apc turning 17000rpm. It pulls right out of is hands. Only a couple running steps and a weak throw is good enough.
Elevator is really important here. There is no such thing as Dual rates.
*My elevator travel is almost straight up and I use every bit of it on landing. Put your receiver and battery as far back as possible. I made a dolly for it to launch off off but it was not working out to well. It is a neat plane but a total handful.
Whenever this thing "goes in. I am going to get a Diamond Dust.
I am confident enough to know I will get at least 140mph out of a simple 46pro.
