Flying your Prime Tundra from water.
Just as flying from land, select your flying area careful, avoid small areas of water with trees, etc,
choose a nice size lake if you can. Please also remember that you will need to either obtain
permission from the owner of the area, or use an area that is already designated for model flying.
Due to the water rudder taxiing the Prime Tundra is very easy. Place the model in the water and
check the controls and ensure they are functioning and operating in the correct direction. Once
satisfied all the controls are working as they should, apply some up elevator and then a small
amount of power to get the Prime Tundra moving across the water. Taxy out to the take off area
and line it up into wind. Apply full up elevator and smoothly advance the throttle, keeping the
Prime Tundra straight with rudder and the wings level with ailerons. Once on the step reduce the
elevator so that the model balances on the step, then when ready the Prime Tundra will lift itself off
and climb away.
Landing on the water is also very easy, apply flaps if conditions allow and line up with the landing
area into wind. Fly a normal circuit as you would when flying from the land, reduce power on final
approach to about 15-20% so that you have a gentle descent, round out about 1 or 2ft above the
water, take the power off and flare enough so that the step touches first in a slightly nose up
attitude, the Prime Tundra will then very quickly settle onto the water. Tax
y
back using some up
elevator and small amounts of power.
