Opinions on the Ritewing ZII and ZIII and Drak?

Mobius records at 60 fps at 720p. For low down twitchy flying this is perfect IMO. For less risky higher up flying- use the gopro if you want better footage.

I have just changed my launch method on my big wings and it's brilliant. I used to javelin launch then hammer the throttle. But I have used this method on my cap from day one

The cap doesn't have much power, so it needs a big throw overhand/overhead. But it works every time.

I tried it this weekend with my bigger, heavier, more powerful wings and it's great. Less risky than the javelin throw for sure. Try this with the zeph. The wings I used it with were if anything heavier than your Z2.

Thanks for this. Good vid. I will try this technique.

So far I have been launching using an underhand grip and yes, you'd probably call it a javelin throw. I found it unpredictable and I've probably failed like 15% of the time which leaves me shit scared of launching it at all!

I'll try playing about with throwing it like that holding the nose end.

Full throttle,  damn good throw overhead. Not directly up, perhaps 70 degrees. I cruising wing would stall probably,  but a decent power:weight and it zooms along. As soon as you get your hand on the sticks you can level it off, although it seems to self level pretty much anyway.  I throw with my thumb underneath and fingers on top, with my hand as close to the centre as I can. Others make a real point of having their thumb on top and fingers below, although I don't know why this is favoured by some.
