Hi-Start Launch
Included Hi-Start Equipment
The following is a list of included components that
you will need to Hi-Start launch your ASK-21.
• Hi-Start and Stake [EFLU1258])
• Hi-Start Hook and Screw (EFLU1255)
Choosing a Launch Area
Your local AMA sanctioned fl ying fi eld is the best
location for fl ying. However, if you do not have
access to such a fi eld, many other open areas will
work. Avoid possible damage to your launch system
and aircraft by launching only in areas clear of
brush, trees and other obstacles.
Preparation for Launch
You may need assistance to safely launch your
aircraft using the included launch assembly. On your
chosen fl ying fi eld, anchor your launch assembly
the furthest point upwind so that you can launch
into the wind.
CAUTION: Avoid driving a stake into buried
utility lines or damage and injury could result.
Contact local utility authorities for assistance
if needed.
Tip: For your fi rst launches, aileron and elevator
input should not be necessary and is not
recommended. Use only the rudder to maintain a
straight launch. Too much up elevator input can
result in oscillations in the sailplane, which can
overstrain the wings.
If you have any problems during launch, applying
full down elevator will release the sailplane. Once it
reaches its maximum launch altitude, the sailplane
should release automatically. If it doesn’t, a quick
tap of down elevator will release it.
