First attempt at a boat. Features: Vectored thrust, steerable front landing gear, wheel brakes. Operation: Low speed taxi to gently sloping shoreline and slowly enter water. When clear of the sea bottom raise the landing gear. Use the vectored thrust at lower speeds to steer craft. IMPORTANT- At high speed use the vectored thrust to trim boat to go in a straight line. Once trimmed, use the rudder for fine control and vectored thrust for coarse. To return to land make sure the landing gear is down and approach gently sloping shoreline at moderate to slow speed. Careful choice of path and speed will allow for land travel to another launch point.
