Crashtest hobby wings

[barrett]

    I've got to give it to them, they say their wings are indestructible, and ya know what i'm a believer. i recently bought a 64" grim reaper XL and have done everything that i never thought a plane would last doing. Its a learning curve getting it to fly  for sure i cussed yelled and almost stomped it into pieces(by the way it would survive it i have no doubt) i was trying to throw it by the wing tip and getting it to go up that away I tossed that thing 50 times and no joy was to be had several times it was a hard lawn dart hit without the lawn hard packed dirt and every time i dusted it off and was scratched all to hell but was holding up very well. Finally Lee from crashtest emailed me and suggested that i throw it overhand with no power in a glide slope and hit power after its far out dront of me, so for the first time i did that and I'll be dammed the thing took off and flew I was in shock and ran it into a tree hard....... Yanked it out put the prop on and did it again success at last i would defiantly recommend these to anybody and everybody they are worth every cent

Im glad to hear you got it figured out ! My spear I Frisbee toss like burko describes but with the |Arrow it was mostly a no go like your experience I think you have to work out what works out for the particular model. I had one plane because of its stubby wings that had to be launched knife edge and have tork roll it level once up to speed.

this thing is super fast had to prop it down from a 12-8 to a 10-4

Glad you found a technique that works.. It took a few crashes to learn the frisbee toss too. I have also seen an insane vertical launch. This is kind of it.
