I'll let Chris answer this but in general low ceiling indoor gliders launch and glide in the same direction because of space limitations in the usual flying sites.

Also Chris is left handed which explains a lot of why he does everything different!

  Dear Doctor Gonzo,

  Congratulations on moving to the land of milk and honey........and
  when it thaws out, you'll see how great it is.

  How is it that you can DL a glider with a wing so fragile at the
  tip? I would think the launch would need to be very precisely on
  plane to avoid any racking of the tip and destroying the model.
  Otherwise getting a very light IDHLG glider to the roof would
  threaten existing records and is an exciting idea.

  I noticed that your DLG at the Colorado Springs Auditorium was
  launched left and transitioned to a left glide. This is opposite of
  my outdoor FFDLG which is left/right. What is your rationale for
  this?

  Regards, Randy
