The Waco Model W Aristocraft was an American four-seat monoplane, the last aircraft designed and built by the Waco Aircraft Company. It had an unusual configuration with an engine mounted at the front driving a pusher propeller at the rear. This is a floatplane version of my Aristocraft. To takeoff from water, deploy flaps fully, set throttle up slowly to 25-30% to avoid tipping forward and apply full back on the stick to hold the nose up. When you start to aquaplane and it's more stable, slowly increase throttle. It will stick to the water at about 91MPH for a few seconds and then lift from the water freely
