Hi there. I've been flying my first HLG recently, and have not been around anyone else who flies HLG. So, I haven't been learning by watching. That's where I need help. My launches are of the following variety: (1) high launch that doesn't seem to transition quite right (drops about 40% of the height from the apex), (2) low launch that keeps up the speed and doesn't lose height at the apex, and (3) fast launch (at a low angle) that rises quickly but still has some of the problems seen with 1 and 2. So, what is the best profile? I seem to cover a lot of ground with the lower launches, but would love to be able to keep all of that altitude that I lose with the high launch (very depressing to see the plane drop that big chunk all at once). Easy fixes? -David ps - hand launch IS addictive pps - I was sore for 4 days after my first half-hour of flying RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
