An open-deck island-hopper if you like the wind in your hair and salt water in your eyes! Goggles are advised!

For take-off, use full THROTTLE and PITCH up. Unstick is at about 150 mph.

Once airborne, hold PITCH up and let speed build to about 205 mph, at which point, the craft will ascend gently. Optimum cruise; use 60% THROTTLE and a little TRIM.

Note that changes in THROTTLE settings impart a slight PITCH up.

For landing, reduce THROTTLE to 15% and once descending, apply full TRIM: this will set a gentle descent angle and optimum speed.

For water taxiing, use 5% THROTTLE and YAW; yaw is applied by differential power to the engines: use opposite YAW to straighten out of turns. YAW is available at 0% THROTTLE for gentle turns with little forward movement.

A silly concept (aren’t they all?) and silly reclined seats but probably with more leg-room than some budget airlines. The brown colour is an attempt at wood, but the colour looks different on different screens. Fake tail surfaces. Passengers in rear seats are advised to not lean over the side.
