Auto Credit Based on Brettski's water arrow
This is a fun little amphibious plane. Its a little tricky to take off but this is how I've found to be the best way: Detach 1 (fuel block), increase throttle to 10-20% and hold full back elevator until the plane has a positive rate of climb. Then detach 2 (landing gear) if desired. With the landing gear removed, you can land and dive under the water. It tends to climb so you can set the VTOL slightly to make it level.
