Ok well you should build a bungee launcher then you'd have no probs. The biggest problem with these tiny planes is the wheels are too small for most grass .
If I could get it off the ground I could tell you! I couldn't possibly recommend this plane. Looks great .. but extremely hard to get in the air.Two of us have them .. well .. used to .. His is now dead. Mine wants to nose over in take off .. or tip stall badly on lift off. He also has the Stuka and the Hiate .. both stunning planes. Go for one of those if you want to go Hyperion! I wish I had never bought it!
Also looks like you might need to add some right thrust to your motor .

@pencon61 Hey there mate...
Actually managed to get her in the air for the second time a few weeks back.
Concusion is Larger wheels obviously help avoiding the nose over. (Bent forward)
I removed all expo from a dual rate elevator for more direct control on takeoff .. switch it back when in the air.
The secret is good elevator control once moving, dont let it jump into the air. A good flat deck is needed.
A nice headwind seemed to help .. it was very windy when it got into the air again.

looking at buying one, is it touchy on the stick? Also how durable is the fiberglass noticed a few rough takeoffs, any damage?
