Buddy is giving good advice. There's an additional reason
to put the control horn on the right side for a right
handed launch. The stress of the launch will pull on the
pushrod rather than push on it. The bugs' little tail
couldn't possibly stretch the pushrod, but a push could
possibly bow the slender pushrod, yielding erratic
behavior for that all-important first second or so.
You'll likely find that on launching that some right
rudder offset will increase launch height dramatically.
