  I disagree with you on a hand launched glider.  How many times have you been
hit by something in flight that COULD have turned off the radio.  I tink it is
best to have the switch ON in the forward position so if during lanuch you hit
it, it will be turning it on.  Ever since I knocked my Segitta's radio off on
launch, I flipped all my switches.  On powered planes, I set them the other
way.
