As the name suggests it's a water vehicle. The controls are as usual plus and additional control for raising or lowering the watercarft above or in the water, controlled with the VTOL slider.
- Cruising is with VTOL slider backwards between 85 and 100%, trim back 50%. To change heading, use the yaw mildy. Compensate added drag and rotational effect with pitch and roll controls to keep it smooth (otherwise you're going to dive and slow down significantly).
- Controls :
-AG7 : addtional lights
-AG8 : thrust orientation to stabilize movement while above water.
