With my typhoon (3 D foamy), it can be a little squirrley during hand launches. I never need full throttle during hand or ground launch. Full throttle may have been too much power, about half throttle would've maybe given you some time to react to the roll. Were you using low rates or duel? Other than that, you will be suprized how many times a foamy can be glued back together with a hot glue gun and still fly! LOL! My typhoon is still flying after numerous falied hovering attempts, has broke behind the engine completely in half serveral times. A glue gun and clear package tape are a foamy flyers best friend. Anyway that's my 0.2 cents worth
A 3D foamy and an edf are completely different animals and the edf needs full throttle to take off on a hand launch. I maidened one just yesterday, a Kyosho Illusion DF45 and it needed quite a bit of time flying straight and level out of my hand before I could pull up for a climb out. After it had the speed, it was a good flyer, but the edf's dont accelerate fast like a 3D plane, but they do acheive faster speeds.
