Rich, glad to hear you are still hanging in there with hand launch. It does get easier. After my first year of hand launch I thought I was getting pretty good, because I flew sometimes five times a week. The next year I improved even more. And this year I am getting even better, not bragging, but

The spec of the TRC 2D in NiCd mode is indeed 4c, however when switched to NiMH mode, it is set for 2c. I keep mine set in NiMH mode all the time, even when charging NiCds. I do like the lower rate for charging radio batteries. Anyway, the charge rate is set by a dial, so you can set the charge
