- Start in the water (important).
- VTOL slider down about one quarter to one half and then adjust for take off - for hydrofoil.
- Take-off should be a smooth increase in power (not 100% all at once).
- Once in flight, VTOL all the way up.
As this is really only a prototype, it is slightly unstable (it wobbles) but apart from that she is the only 'sea plane' to break the sound barrier.
(If you crash in the water - power off, wait for her to right herself and then take off once more!)

Yeah@JacobHardy64
SoCal? @ACMECo1940
I live in Ca too!@JacobHardy64
Could you make an F-35?
This is excellent.
Nice, I hadn't seen this. Love the way you did the hydrofoils. Just uploaded one of my own, take a look.
insert of you know what I mean mene here @SpiritusRaptor
@SpiritusRaptor np, its fine
@Spikerya hehehehe... sorry... I my mind is elsewhere today :) hope you understand
@SpiritusRaptor lol no, Carmel, like caramel, almost...
@Spikerya Camel what? Camel toe? The middle east maybe?
@JacobHardy64 yeah
Nice! @Spikerya
@JacobHardy64 oh... im in Carmel Valley
Next to chino @Spikerya
La Verne California @Spikerya
@JacobHardy64 wait a sec... where do you live? Cuz ive seen it at Balboa Park too...
Very cool. I didn't find any real stability issues. Noses down slightly, but that's it. The only real problem I see is with the hydro-skis, which seem to work opposite of the actual Sea Dart.
This is cool I like these planes They've got a interesting concept
Lol they are great here, my personal favorite is planes of fame air museum in chino California @SpiritusRaptor
@Nyokie27 They were modded for faster, but I brought them back to just over the speed of sound...
