Safe Launches...

Follow this ascent pattern directly into wind and make your first turn gradual only when the plane reaches the 125 yd or 90 meter mark.

Turning sooner puts the plane at risk for a tip stall because it has not achieved enough air speed to bank.

The above distance will allow a full throttled plane to get up to speed for a medium turn.

Use a spiraling technique to achieve maximum altitude (record it precisely with an altimeter).

If the wind is greater than 5 mph or 8 k use a back forth pattern gaining the most altitude while heading directly into the wind.

Use lots of up elevator on sharp turns which will force the plane to fly a self checking wider and safer turn.
