You may have hit the problem with the comment about THROWING the model.
1/2a's do not respond well (in my experience) to someone pitching them
like a fastball, if the launcher takes a few running steps and lets the
plane fly out of his hand, you can almost be assured there won't be a problem.
It sounds like the same Taylorcraft kit I built a few years ago, I ran a
muffled 049 with the prop on backward(as suggested in an earlier post). It
was an ok little plane, it would take off on grass (on a good day), could
be hand launched by pilot, but was a little fast for scale.  It was sorta
like the Gimli glider when the power was off, but otherwise something nice
for small field flying.
