I like to toss downwind, at power enough to hover + a click or two. I hold the plane at the canopy area, and toss away from me at an almost vertical angle. Tossing into the wind is begging for stitches. Toss downwind.

I toss with my left hand, keeping the right hand on the right stick. If somehow, the plane comes at me, a push on the elevator, and it goes away again. Yes, I'm a neckstrap guy...

I do this on 5 ounce foamys up to 6 pound 100 size profiles.

And never look down. Keep your eye on the plane.
