extended.
C
Position D – Continued Rotation:
The second half of the rotation - the part that is most important for a good
launch. Do not use too much arm in this section. Just let the swing of your
torso speed the CUMUL DLG up.
Position E - Release:
By this time in the launch the plane will be trying to climb on its own. Just
release your fingers and let the plane fly out of your hand directly into the
wind.

Position F – Taking the Control:
Catch your balance; watch your CUMUL DLG climb whilst getting hold of
your radio, ready to control your model. The plane will climb after release –
the climb angle should be shallow at first; once you are well acquainted with
the discus launch you can use more force and increase the launch angle up
to 60-80 degrees. When completely familiar and comfortable you can add
two quick steps before starting the turning sequence in order to get some
extra speed and energy.
When the plane has slowed almost to the point of stopping push full down
elevator in order to achieve level flight. When this is done at the right mo-
ment the plane will go into horizontal flight with just enough airspeed to
maintain gentle glide. If it is done too early the plane will pitch up her nose
dangerously after a short dive; if it is done too late the plane will stall.
Enjoy your new CUMUL DLG, have a ball!
