In _catapult/hand-launch mode_ the vehicle waits to detect launch (based on acceleration trigger).
On launch it enables the motor(s) and climbs with the maximum climb rate [FW_T_CLMB_MAX](#FW_T_CLMB_MAX) while keeping the pitch setpoint above [FW_TKO_PITCH_MIN](#FW_TKO_PITCH_MIN).
Once it reaches [MIS_TAKEOFF_ALT](#MIS_TAKEOFF_ALT) it will automatically switch to [Hold mode](../flight_modes_fw/hold.md) and loiter.
It is possible to delay the activation of the motors and control surfaces separately, see parameters [FW_LAUN_MOT_DEL](#FW_LAUN_MOT_DEL), [FW_LAUN_CS_LK_DY](#FW_LAUN_CS_LK_DY) and [CA_CS_LAUN_LK](#CA_CS_LAUN_LK). The later is also exposed in the actuator configuration page under the advanced view.
All RC stick movement is ignored during the full takeoff sequence.
