I’ve been doing hand take off and landing with my M4P and my RC2 for some time now, and I was launching it with drone holding in one hand and RC in the other. The most challening part when launching is to get those two joysticks moves inwards, to start the rotors; while I can do one with hand holding the RC I learned to use my elbow of other hand, holding the drone to move the other one in; I know you might laugh doing it this way but it works great, seen YT videos other people doing the same, now, with this new RC Pro 2, that “elbow trick” will not work, the display is in way for reaching it. Any idea what else I could do to get my rotors spinning for hand launch?
 
I don't have the RC2 or PRO 2, but there should be an icon on the left hand side of the screen with a circle and an arrow pointing up in the app flight screen.


Hold the button down for auto launch.

No sticks needed.

I would start with a kevlar face mask and a wind meter for speed and direction. And M4P freak accident will do some serious damage.
 
From what I recall, it was possible to use C1 as the launch button as well. Don't recall off the top of my head if that required a configuration to do, or what. Not near my controller, or I would go find it.
