I still prefer "XJet", though maybe this has bad memories for Bruce (old history when he withdrew from RC Groups).

In the end the best option was to one day go to the field and practice handlaunchings until you get it right.. basically its motor to 50% and give it a strong toss slighty upwards (i say like 15-20º up , ie: poiting slighthy upwards) ... the strong toss will give it more initial airspeed than just leaving the hand with a light toss ... since then i never again had problems handlaunching top-pod motor planes |

Dave (are you the same jughead from wilddogs?)
Just make sure all your control surfaces move in the right direction !!! I was also nervous the first time i flew it but this thing goes exactly where you point it. 1/2 - 2/3 throttle, throw it at about 30 degrees upwards & just enjoy. I fly mine almost every day for an hour+ (my neck just gets sore) so have to land. When you search for thermals you can fly all day I even added leds so i can extend my flying hours (night flying is awesome but sometimes my hart sits in my throat but it is still a lot of fun) Trust me this thing flys beautifully. No bad tendencies Pm my as jy enige ander inligting soek. Ek is elke Desember in Jeffreys & vlieg daar so as jy ooit hulp soek. Gaan loer op www.avcom.co.za onder die model section. Daar is 'n hele paar ouens wat in jou area vlieg. Geniet dit & laat weet hoe dit gegaan het. Groete Jeandré |

I took off from the ground more times than I can count. If theres a light breeze and some short-ish grass, its as easy as having landing gear. Might be worth looking into if you are having serious issues.
