- I disagree with you on a hand launched glider. How many times have you been
- hit by something in flight that COULD have turned off the radio. I tink it is
- best to have the switch ON in the forward position so if during lanuch you hit
- it, it will be turning it on. Ever since I knocked my Segitta's radio off on
- launch, I flipped all my switches. On powered planes, I set them the other
- way.
