Ran two LiPo's in man made Lake today at sunset. Lake is HERE:

I found that at 1/2 throttle on the water I can get away with steering okay. Taking off, it's full throttle and up elevator at first. THEN NUETRAL STICK to get it up on step, and FULL UP ELEVATOR ONCE MORE to lift away, with a trail of rippling drops of water dripping off the pontoons to the lake below. Frickin' Sweet and beautiful to behold.
