Raptor: Added flaps make launch easy!

[Granpaw Jonah]

...Hi...   I don't know why I didn't do this before.... add flaps that is 'cos she's always been tricky to launch. Can't really fail the Raptor on much else... apart from the tail should be a 'T' tail, also there must be a more satisfactory way to mount the wings, options for an rtf with decent (upgraded) electronics would be a bonus... mind you, having said that this one has submitted to gravity a few times ( pilot error, lets call it what it is...) and has flown a lot of hours with no component failures as yet.......

That looks pretty painless to launch, mod has done the job it would seem :)

Massive improvement.

I for rid of my one because the launch was so bad!

I suspect the source of the problems are thrust line related.    Flaps is a good solution to effectively adjust the angle of attack relative to the motor :)
