I have a global 1/12 scale messerschmit with a .15. It has landing gear on it. I want to hand launch it instead of rog. What technique do I use. I am not at all familiar with hand launch of this type of model.
Is it under hand or overhand? Do I run with it first? It seems to
to need a lot of speed to get in the air.

I am by no means an expert but I can tell you the method that works for me.

I am right handed so I hold the TX in my left hand and launch with my right. I hold the fuse from the top , just in front of the canopy and give her a good underhanded toss. I then get my right hand back to the Tx to guide her out.

There is a thread on this forum with pics that show Demon launching his warbirds.

Good Luck, Dane McGee

Thanks for the thread Demon. Maybe I'll show up at the June 14th
meet with some of the Milford, CT. club. Then we can get a first hand demo of your launch.

C'mon over! And, don't forget to bring some planes!
