Shooter flying technique:
- Hold your plane with thumb and forefinger and give it a quick shot in the space. Before that, Keep your left foot slightly forward and launch it in 30 – 40 degrees angle, throw it steadily with a medium force. If it fails, tweak the tail wing slightly up and try again. Try different angles and forces now! Wow, That’s how one learns properly with more trying and flying. Kudos!
