I have the standard V tail Bug, (photos in John's Bug photo folder). I launch side arm. I patched one wingtip with 0.8mm ply. I hold it between thumb and second finger, index finger behind the TE, and just flip up into the sky. I did at one time try a launching peg but for some reason it was not successful.

The Bug was the first HLG I built. Since then I have made a Gambler Plus and an Apogee. Both flew somewhat better than the Bug. But the Bug is the most fun to fly, by far.
