< Flight Notes >
- High pitch tendency to aid in water takeoff:
- Land takeoff: recommended to use high negative pitch input
- Water takeoff: recommended to use negative pitch trim input and apply more negative pitch trim upon lifting off
- Unfriendly to Set Position & VesselMover; use unbreakable joints/parts when used
