Use advices:
It is strongly recommended to get informations from an experienced pilot in all
these different following cases before flying with options.
7-1.1 : Skis
During preflight inspection, pay special attention to the sandow attachments and those
holding the skis in approach position.
During take off, make sure the runway does not have too much lateral slope, which might
cause the aircraft to deviate from the centerline.
Before landing, beware of faulty estimation of height above snow-covered terrain. The
absence of contrast, termed "white out", tends to give a deceptive impression of height.
7-1.2 : Floats
At take off, choose a course as closely upwind as possible. Keep tracking straight as you
give power slowly. The stick must be kept at neutral, avoiding any wave-induced
oscillations.
When taking off in a swell, choose a course that gives you the best compromise between
the wind direction and that of the waves.
In the hull version, keep the wings level when fast taxiing on water, to keep the sponsons
from hitting the water. For take off, stick back all the way, power on slowly, to full.
The aircraft will "climb on the step" in a few yards. Then bring the stick forward to level
the aircraft.
Once the aircraft has reached a stable take off attitude, maintain this during acceleration,
observing the flight attitude rather than the position of the stick.
When X-AIR Hanuman has reached lift off speed, it will take off on its own. Do not try to
unstick it from the water, this could prove very ... wet! After accelerating in ground effect,
start a normal climb.
In flight, keep in mind the aircraft in hull version is often heavier than the land version.
Take this into account when selecting your approach speeds.
When landing, come in a little faster than with the land version, and prefer power-on to
power-off landings.
