when you up a set you need to get just above 200 ft GL then level and pull the throttle back for a min til the drones all fall in line then proceed...

If your below 200 or do a turn right after take off you'll lose one or two drones .

(I myself very very rarly lose a drone ,,, unless it gets shot down)

Yup...I auto takeoff and as soon as I am airbourne (asuming there isn't a big hill ahead of me) I throttle back to manifold pressure 40, let the drones form up and THEN think about any turns.

If you try to turn before they are properly lined up you can lose one or both of them.
