I separated the fans with clutches to balance/ devote Motor (Electrical) power to water propulsion, and allow thrusters to fire up before attempting to send all the power delivered by turbine to power all the fans. Once in stable flight, I run spoilers at 50-60% and throttle at 85%. floor gears: on right- Gens/fans to help turbine, and left one just gives fans some juice.

I keep thrusters angled, to where ‘Jet wash’ just taps back of the fins. After clutches are on Left keypad with Wet props; so really last step, to bring them on-line, as u turn off your clutches to water propulsion.
The little keypad above it (L) can be set at -0.3 to tuck the fans a bit. Landing skis are useable, deployed or not, but a -1.0 in opposite little keypad (R), will drop them for added belly space. X look is attached to tweaking turrets in Fan bays (noticed, if turn on spots- #1) Nav lights on #2 on seat. All other controls standard: pitch-U/D, yaw- L/R, Roll A/D.

Still working on parameters for efficient flight, but here is what has worked so far: Spoilers- 1.0, Gens- 0.3, throttle- 0.3. Left key pad for wet props-1.0, Right keypad for Motors- 1.0. Gen and prop Gears are in the floor and hotkeys on seat for wet gears- #4 and pumps- #5. Raise throttle, and decrease spoilers using W/S to tilt thrusters; keeping nose up and slap free of the water. now bring down Motors to 0.0 and ‘after clutches’ (though this can be done earlier, once used to planing) to 1.0 for extra fans.
