RE: Foam Seawind EP from Great Planes...
Man Geeter,
Sorry but I think you need to practice hand launches on some flight simulator or something. A FunJet or a seawind takes off no problem for me and many peoples. I have never heard so many problems on take offs as you are describing
I think you just need to get the hang of it!!
Don't mean to be harsh just take the advice and save your planes
