In which direction may an R/C Rocket Boosted Glider (RBG) be launched in regard to the flightline?

Launching an R/C Rocket Boosted Glider (RBG) parallel to or away from the flightline is the safest and most effective approach. This method minimizes risk to spectators and other participants by ensuring that the glider's ascent and subsequent flight path do not intrude into areas where people are gathered. Additionally, launching parallel or away means that the RBG is directed into an open area where it has the most space to fly freely, reducing the likelihood of collisions or accidents.

Launching toward spectators poses significant safety risks, as it could result in injuries if the rocket malfunctions or loses control. While a diagonal angle may seem like a safe compromise, it can also unintentionally direct the flight path closer to areas where people might be located. Therefore, choosing to launch parallel to or away from the flightline aligns with safety protocols and ensures a responsible flying experience.
