Hi Guys,
I just got a new Caipirinha and I've always takeoff on wheels before. So first time with hand launch. I didn't always have buddy to launch it for me.
What would you suggest for a switch that put elevator little up while hand launch a delta wing on my ER9X moded turnigy 9x ?

Re: switch to put elevator up hand launch delta wing
You probably won't need it!
I launch one of my FPV wings - with goggles on.
Nose slightly up, 3 steps and a hard launch. Then open power and crank in full up
If I where to do it - I would probably use a flight phase for the job.

Slope Soaring, FPV, and pretty much anything 'high tech'

Re: switch to put elevator up hand launch delta wing
You really have to watch your fingers/hand in the prop when launching this type of model, the safest way seems to be by holding the front of the wing and chucking up and away.

Re: switch to put elevator up hand launch delta wing
I remember some time ago a friend of mine had one of those multiplex wings and the prop used to bite his hand on takeoff. Also when he launched it with motor off, most of the times he couldn't find the throttle stick quick enough and the wing ended up on the ground. That got me thinking 
One day when he finished flying I took my 9x and showed him a mix that he should program on his futaba 8FG, Unfortunately was not possible 
I think the mix added a couple seconds delay. After advancing the throttle, the motor started 2 second or 3 later. It happened only on launch can't remember very well what I did though

I fly mode 2,and use channel order TAER.
To help in launching my wing, use gear switch for a little up elevator, easy to flick off when properly airborne.The mix.
CH01 +100%THR CH03 -80%ELE
R-100%HALF Switch(THR) +8% HALF Switch (GEA)
CH02 -80% AIL -80% AIL
+80% ELE
-8% HALF Switch (GEA)

Unfortunately what I just wrote got all mixed up when submitting it.
I hope you can work it out.

Ok, another try for my Wing mix using gear switch to give a little up elevator.
CH01 +100% THR
R -100% HALF Switch(THR)
CH02 -80% AIL
+80% ELE
-8% HALF Switch (GEA)
CH03 -80% ELE
+8% HALF Switch (GEA)
-80% AIL
I don't know if there is an easier way with one line to make a mix for elevons.
But this works great for me.
