Complex!  *NOTE:Stabilators enable you to change the aoa of the horizontal stabilizers allowing you to increase payload weight.  However. When the system is off your fine trim is used but when re-engaging stabilators makes sure your trimmed to their original set position or you will pitch hard. Use stabilators for takeoff and climb. Shut off for fine trim during cruising. Re-engage before Descent and throughout Landing phase.Water Landing and Transition. (Pitch control is Manual for OMS prop/ FWD+RVS w/VTOL.)After Landing on Water with Gear up:All Systems Off (1,5)Power to 100%PES -On.(6) Wait 5-10 sec.PES -OffOES -On.(8) Wait 5 sec.OES -OffPower to 0%OMS -On(2)-Roll for OMS Control-VTOL for Forwards and Reverse.Manual Throttle/Prop Manipulation for Power Management may proceed.Both Pods drop with 7 and parachute down with Strobe and Beacon lights. That's because this plane was designed to respond to distressed vessels up 24 passenger + 6 in Payload. Each pod contains a 3 Row, 12 person safety Raft containing food, first aid, canopy and water. No. That's BS. It's really just floating blocks and a nose cone.You can release the chutes with 7 after dropping them then turn the lights back on. I drop them way out and look for them after I come back for a touch n go.Stay tuned for my Pelican Warship.
