This is the powered version of my Nimbus 4. It now has the ability to selflaunch and gain altitude without using thermals. If you follow these steps nothing should go wrong during takeoff. --- STEP 1: Throttle up to 100% and wait until the plane reaches 110 kph (68 mph). You might have to pull a little bit. | STEP 2: Pull it up and keep pulling. Don't fall under 100 kph (62 mph). | STEP 3: If you gained enough altitude throttle down and put the nose down immediately. | STEP 4: Enjoy gliding ;)
