Holy cow this is my biggest build yet...I could have spent another week making this thing pretty and handle better but getting near the 500 part mark made me leary.

You can start on the water or the land.

Land controls are pitch for forward and roll to steer.
AG 1 for booster (use sparingly) also pitch.
AG 8 is the headlights.

If you make it to the water intact or if you start in the water; VTOL all the way up, and hit AG 4 to activate the pontoons, side cannons, water steering, and VTOL steering.

Very Important: On water your AG 1 booster will be the only means of propulsion use pitch and yaw will be your steering. Anything faster than 45mph on water seems to spin you around but as long as you don't hit land you can easily recover.

Warning!!! Do not activate AG 4 and fire the guns without extending the pontoons (VTOL up) you DO have front guns that will not blow you up.
