RE: Weston Magnum R build
Launching deltas with rear exhaust engines is a special treat - as you push it away the exhaust aims right at your face. Loads of fun for the pilot, not so much for the happy helper.. 
Esp. with lots of nitro to add spice to the mix.

RE: Weston Magnum R build
I launch my little SD delta rear exhaust myself ,usually because I'm the only one at the field when I go, and by the time I get my hand back on the stick, my left arm and hand is a dribbling mess like I just helped a calf out of the birth canal of her mother bare handed back on the farm.[:'(]

From what I've read and seen first hand, most are lost from being too nose heavy and launching poorly. Do some searching in here and you will notice the CG needs to be a bit more rearward from what the instructions say.
