This is the first video I have seen that actually shows the correct lean Angle for take off. it's nice to revisit the basics and make the corrections necessary for easy quick take off I dont wanna run anymore than I have to and good posture just makes your take off look Effortless. Thank you Kyle great video!!

WELL DONE, Kyle. This may well be the best Newbie launch technique video on KZitem. Most everything else out there is just a rehash of the same old stuff. Yup good job, I really like the specifics and actual demonstrations, this is the style and content that people can really learn a lot from. Now if it could only be tracked to actually see how much improvement will be achieved by those who apply this. Highest regards and I hope to get down your way this year and check in with you but if not maybe at a Fly-in.

Hey Kyle. I like the lean back method but it cost me a prop blade. During a fly in we were on a mowed cow field. The grass and brush were freshly cut but some long twigs must have been on the ground. I set up my wing risers spread and ready for a front launch. And before clipping in I stood forward of my risers by at least 18” from prop to where the risers lay. As I leaned back a twig got sucked in and grabbed my left riser and I heard a small ping and my riser launched backwards. One blade tip was busted but no damage was found on the riser or lines. Fluke accident for sure but I am not going to lean back for a run up again unless I am extremely far from my wing and on grass or a clear field.

Three thoughts on why I don't lean back. 1) if the motor quits the cost of a new prop $450 2) during the takeoff run leaning back while applying pressure to hold yourself up you tend to fight again fwd acceleration. 3) I'm off in 60' or less in zero wind.
@pablopicasso8502

If the motor quits the prop won't get damaged, especially in a clutched motor. The only way to mess it up is by releasing the throttle while motor still running....

Hi Kyle,I was wondering if there is a way I can modify the present bicycle style throttle I have on my 2015 Blackhawk 90. I find it is a little to big to grip properly (I know TWSS) or my hand is too small!) this causes me to accidentally squeeze the throttle. It is too far between the lever and handle. I use my ring and pinky fingers for throttle, and pointer and middle finger on the brake toggle. Any suggestions you can provide (or video on how to grip differently) would be appreciated. I just rebuilt the carb and replaced the pull start rope and did some fine tuning, it runs perfectly!!! I'm getting about 6000 rpm on max throttle.Thanks also for all the great instruction videos and all your other escapades. Also becoming a big Funky Fella fan, I hadn't heard of them until on your videos.Wayne

(I am just an ordinary pilot with 20+ years of recreational flying, about 50 flight hours a year) Can't imagine why would one need to be doing this exercise... Try doing this with your wing - or something - laying behind... I want to say: you must lean forward at takeoff (or you mess your wing). So why training this? Just because "why not"? I find this exercise as useful as any other going outdoors with your motor, checking it starts, runs, sits allright, etc. But usually we go out with our gear for the purpose to fly - not to play. And by actually training the flying (including takeoff, midair and landing) we learn much more about thrust, harness, motor reaction etc - and with much more pleasant reward, I believe. So it does not look to me like a serious systematic "must" training. Besides, every training implies a possibility to fail. Imaging falling back or sideways by doing this: the normal reaction would be - yes - step back (notice: your heel was dangerously close to the full-spinning prop!) Eventually you can trip and sit down on your butt with full throttle on... Would you like it? As e.g. opposed to leaning forward - you just fall on your knees (also dangerous, but less, believe me!) and on your belly (and if you don't roll on your side falling on your belly - you and your gear are usually safe). So, thinking while writing this - sorry for long - I wouldn't actually recommend trying this trick more that couple of times - just for curiosity and to show-off, and if you are enough experienced only - not for any real beginner "training". Sorry for the disappointment. Thank you!
@kyleoglee

I've been making new pilots for many years. We do this excercise the first time they put on a motor. I want them to be comfortable leaning back while thrusting on takeoff. Leaning forward while doing a launch is NOT a good technique. Obviously, this is not something to do when the wing is laid out behind you. But, as soon as the lines clear the hoop, and it's time for thrust application, this technique is vital for a safe, near effortless taxi and takeoff! Give it a try sometime, and you may figure out how much better it is!
