kitsch series CONEY ISLAND

This is an experiment in (a) asymmetric design and (b) totally wild design. It comes with major difficulties in taking off and is obviously not inherently stable.

To take off:
1. Raise throttle to 50% and use rudder to stay in/near the center of the runway
2. Stay at 50% throttle until at 50mph,
3. Then raise throttle to 100% and climb at 5-10 degrees.

Autopilot at 100% throttle is really the ideal cruise setting.

Note: If you throttle up to 100% straight from 0%, the engines will begin producing a level of thrust which will overwhelm your flight controls. You do need =50mph before going to 100% thrust.

There is a gyro which is activated by Activation Group [8], but the difference of it on versus off is relatively insignificant, so use it at your own discretion.

Otherwise, enjoy!
