![]() This is explained in the Sparrow instructions. Since the velocity component of the lift equation is squared, your glider in high-speed mode will easily do loops on launch unless you adjust the trim and launch angle correctly. The trick is to get the glider to get as high as possible and transition smoothly into the slow glide. Launching a glider with a hand toss takes a strong coordinated throw stretching back an elastic band will be easier for most people. My experience with catapult gliders started with putting a launch hook on hand launch gliders I had built. But be forewarned your glider needs to be adjusted correctly or it could be hitting the ground quicker than you can blink an eye. If you are the really impatient type of person, you do not even need to spend the ½ a minute needed to wind up a rubber motor, just pull back and let it rip. Or you could potentially coat something pointy or sharp in injury poison and use that too.Catapult gliders combine two vastly differing flight modes, a rocket like acceleration launch and a slow floating glide.
