Palm forward. The action could be similar to a golf swing where you want to apply a constant acceleration, stopping acceleration just before release. This is very subtle and may be difficult to perceive.
Start with about a 90 degree rotation then when comfortable move to the point where you get a full 360 degree rotation. It's important not to force the plane and cause it to yaw before release. This has worked for me. Hopefully it will continue to work this year. :-) SECOND ANSWER I fly the Xterminator Pro from http://www.PolecatAero.com I CAd a thin CF rod from bottom of stab to base of stab at boom. Used kevlar threads to tack it into place. This was specially important since I wanted to fly it for HL Golf. Has held up well, except for that tree and wing LE is another story. ooops :-) Steve At 12:00 AM 5/1/2002 -0700, Brian Joder wrote: >Hello all, > >I just flew my new Taboo for the first time a few days >ago and now having several (GREAT) flights I am >starting to use the discus throwing method with the >wing peg. > >Question: Should my hand/palm be facing forward or >backward (like if I did not use a peg at all) when I >grip the wing tip? > >I have been getting about 50 feet on a toss either >way, but I feel like i should be able to put a lot >more into it... of course I need to learn the proper >technique - any help!!?? > >SECOND QUESTION: >The rudder on these DLG's sticks down (for good >structural reasons - understandably) is there any >reason I couldn't CA glue a monofilament line from the >base of the rudder to say half way up the boom?
