Optional Floats

To ﬂ y this aircraft off water, install the optional

E-ﬂ ite

Float Set (EFLUA1190, sold separately).

A rear ﬂ oat mount is included with the aircraft. Install

it in the open slot on the bottom of the fuselage using

foam-compatible CA. Refer to the ﬂ oat manual for

installation instructions.

Taking off on water

To take off on water, steer with the rudder and slowly

increase the throttle.

Keep the wings level on takeoff. Hold a small amount

(1/4–1/3) of up elevator and the aircraft will lift off

once ﬂ ying speed is reached. Avoid rapidly increasing

the throttle, as torque from the motor may cause the

aircraft to roll to the left when on water.

Landing on Water

To land on water, ﬂ y the aircraft to a couple of feet off

the surface of the water. Reduce throttle and add up

elevator to ﬂ are the aircraft.

When taxiing, you must use some throttle to create

propeller blast over the rudder to steer, as there is no

water rudder.

Avoid taxiing cross wind if there is a breeze, as this

can cause the aircraft to ﬂ ip over if the wind gets

under the upwind wing. Taxi 45 degrees into the

direction of the wind (not perpendicular to the wind)

and use aileron to hold the upwind wing down.

The aircraft will try to face into the wind when

taxiing. The wind naturally turns the aircraft to face

into the wind.
