Here we go again....
<The 2M Super V seems to be the standard of
comparison as far as launch.>
This is again a VERY subjective viewpoint! Ever see Joe W. launch his Maple Leaf
Image? Ever travel to Europe and see some of the Euro molded or foam core/bagged 2
meters launch and fly? I hate to inform you, but there is a whole WORLD of R/C pilots
and designers/builders out there that I'm sure don't share your view! The Super V
series of gliders are well designed and fly great, but I have flown them myself and
believe me, in my travels around the country and the world, I have seen many other
designs that fly as good or better! As has been stated several times before by some
world class pilots on this exchange, the performance (including launch performance) of
any model is highly dependant not only on its basic design, but to a great extent on
how it is finished and trimmed/set up by the builder (overall weight and proper
installation of radio gear, C.G. and towhook placement, control surface throws and
mixing, etc.).
