I take a rope and tie a loop in both ends,one end goes over the tail of the plane ,the other goes over a block or the truck bumper,make sure there is no slack in the rope when starting,or you may need a traing bra.You can also build a stand that the plane sits in and a bracket on each side of the fuse holds the wings, if you have never started an r/c engine before you might have someone close by in case the prop gets a little hungry
