I hope it's the 25 FX, use it, put a mouse can on it. Watch the throws on the aircraft and the CG. Scale Combat ships don't take much in the way of throws before they are very active.
It'll be fast, under 100 but at 1/12th scale they get small exceptionally quick. On launch with the engine full up, hold it by the canopy area, give it an underhand toss with the nose 20 degrees up and about 15 degrees of right roll in it. The torque from the engine will roll it back left and yaw it a bit too which will be overtaken by your toss so the plane should actually go pretty level. With the FX you will have enough power that it will fly straight away from you. With an LA you'll have to count on a flatter launch, less torque too.
First time I launched my scale bird I through it flat and though I'd just launched a CL Rat racer. It accelerated very quick and yawed at least 20 degrees to the left, just like it was on lines. Straighted out after an 1/8 of the circle though and started going straight. They're a whole bunch of fun even without streamer on.
