Launch attitude suggestion.

I suggest dropping the aircraft straight down nose first. Light the engine after it has had enough time to become aerodynamically stable, then pull up.

Problem: how do you light the engine away from the main payload? Reel of wire like a TOW missile? Or, drop the aircraft with the ignition equipment (battery, etc.) and release on ignition?
