Default Question for the experts...Launching

What is the best technique for hand launching? I am relatively new to combat and could use some tips in this area. Is over-head or under-hand the preferred method? Which is the most consistent/easiest? I am a bit nervous about this style because the last thing I want to do is end my day early with a bad launch.

I have seen many guys at the local club destroy their planes with bad launches (all over-head launches). I purchased a catapult for the club to remedy this but it is a bit clumsy and requires 2 people to operate properly. Any tips or help in this area would be really helpful!

I will be starting out with JKA FW190's with Magnum 25's for power this year (if that matters). Thanks!
