DJD: I found a WEALTH of info in the RC Groups forum; they have a Hand Launch category that will answer just about any question you might have.

Here's the link (not sure if I did that correctly - if not, just google on discus launch glider and rcgroups should be within the first 3 or 4 sites found.) Notice especially the first thread, "Hand Launch Links - Updated." That'll save you lots of time when looking for stuff.
