Hobbyking Mini DLG update and flight footage

If I'm not explaining things right, go to Pierre Meunier's channel. He has a very thick accent, but he shows videos of his lsunch(he's a really good DLG pilot) so even if you can't understand him, the video makes very clear what I'm talking about with the twisting and releasing thing.

One more thing I noticed; at the beginning of the launch your doing great, cause the glider is accelerating and you are spinning and twisting and everything looks fine. But then after about 220 degrees of turn you kinda lose it all, and it's almost like your starting over again. You can really see this in effect at 1:20

Well you're letting go too late, so you are depleting the forward momentum and increasing the sideways momentum, which translates into less height and more unwanted "launch-roll". Also this is probobly one if the reasons why you are hurting your shoulder, cause the glider has been accelerated, and it WANTS to go forward, but your are holding it back by not letting go soon enough and thus it is pulling and straining your shoulder. Also, you are not COMMITING enough. See when you launch you take a big step with your right foot, then a small one with your left as you begin to twist, and your doing all that great, but then once your twisted you should be really gaining momentum, which your not really doing cause your not going fast enough to allow a twist in the spine. That twist is where the power comes from, cause at the end if the launch you un-twist and release all that energy and allow the glider to surge forward and release. There should be a point at which the glider has enough momentum that it pulls out of your hand, and that's when you let go. Also you are using to much force from your arms. You are not twisting enough or spinning fast enough so you are trying to make up for it by throwing it really hard with your arm, which just causes the plane to roll and your shoulder to hurt.
