Your first throw

You launch the T1-S Ranger by hand. At the field, you hold it up, open the throttle and let it go. The sim works in the same way. In this tutorial, you throw the plane one time. Then you bring it back to your hand, so that you can throw it again. This tutorial flies the T1-S Ranger. To fly the T1-S VTOL from the sim alone, see Your first hover.
