The Birch Duck (Pause for laughter) , get it? Spruce Goose, Birch Duck... HA!... sorry. Controls: Activation group 1 and VTOL to control the land landing gear, I recommend placing the VTOL slider halfway between neutral and down for the landing gear down position... You still following me? Okay, activation group 2 and VTOL to control the water landing floats Up for down and down for catastrophic failure. Activation group 3 and this baby will light up like a very sad fourth of july party.
