The engines are really understressed with this. The only reason there are four is because the power is needed for water takeoffs, for which you’ll use 100% throttle. For water skimming, use orbit view, go to around 45-55% throttle, and fly along the top of the water in the altitude range of 10-200 feet. It does well, and cruises at around the mid-400 mph range. The wings flap upwards nicely on sharp, upward pulls. Note: It tends to overspeed at 550, so be careful to manage your speed. You’ll throttle back when descending, up when ascending and taking off, etc. Enjoy!!
