Flying with the Optional Float Set
IMPORTANT: Only install the floats if you are comfortable
flying your aircraft and have repeatedly taken off, flown and
landed with success. Flying from water poses a higher risk to
the aircraft because the electronics can fail if fully immersed
in water.
Always ensure the floats are correctly secured to the
fuselage prior to taxiing or attempting takeoff.
To taxi on water:
• Use throttle to move the aircraft forward and steer with
the rudder stick.
• The aircraft will naturally try to face into the wind when
taxiing. Taxi 45 degrees into the direction of the wind, if
necessary, never perpendicular to the wind. The aircraft
may flip over if wind gets under the upwind wing.
• Use aileron to hold the upwind wing down.
To take off from water:
• Steer with the rudder to turn into the wind
and slowly increase the throttle.
• Keep the wings level on the takeoff run.
• Hold a small amount (1/4–1/3) of up elevator.
• The aircraft will lift off once flying speed is reached.
Wind Direction

• Fly down to a couple of feet off the surface of the water.
• Reduce throttle and add up elevator to flare the aircraft
and set down gently on the surface.
assistance and use any available safety flotation devices.
Always fully dry the aircraft after flying from water.
IMPORTANT: If water splashes into the fuselage at any
time, bring the airplane to shore, open the battery hatch
and immediately remove the water. Leave the battery hatch
open overnight to let the inside dry and to prevent moisture
damage to the electronic components.
