This step is exactly what make this plane so special I think.

Contrary to many planes you don't have to throw it.
Just catch it at the rear of the body between your fingers and let the nose facing the floor.

Put your hand at the maximum height as you can

Now you're ready, just release the plane, it should go down, catching speed, then fly normally flat with a beautiful and very interesting flight.

If the plane want to go up too much, try softing the rear flaps fold

If the plane goes directly the nose on the floor, make the rear flaps fold more aggressive.

If the plane turn or if you want to make it turn, you can play with the shape of the rear flap folds only on one of the side. Try left or right and see the effects

If you don't want it to turn try to sharpen the 'attack fold'. Fold it very good using something hard.
