Have you ever seen one of those insanely fast standing drone launch videos and wondered how they do that? This high-speed, vertical / standing lift off is known as Launch Control and it was officially included as a feature of BetaFlight 4.0 a few years back.

This simple tutorial does NOT involve programming your drone with BetaFlight. Instead, I will show you how to manually perform a Launch Control style take off with no special programming required.

Remember to use caution when attempting to do this on your own! Launch Control take-offs can be dangerous and can put your drone, your surroundings, you, and others at risk. They sure look awesome though, and are totally worth it if you ask me. Enjoy the adrenaline!
