The pilot controls the throttle to create thrust. A pilot might have to use more aileron inputs, especially if it’s bumpy and the aircraft is getting moved around. When aileron input is added to counteract this, just remember that adverse yaw is in play, so some slight rudder will be needed. Just something to be aware of!

If there is a crosswind at the airport, you should mention this in your brief. Discuss your nominated crosswind technique. Explain what aircraft input you will require to land the aircraft in the crosswind. For example, the crosswind is from left to right. This is because only one engine produces thrust.

These engines are arranged in four pods beneath the wings, a design that not only provides the necessary thrust but also helps delay stall onset, contributing to the aircraft’s stability and performance. The aircraft uses a system of six spoilerons on each wing for roll control, compensating for the lack of traditional ailerons.

Combining the Gweduck’s advanced hull with its counter-rotating propellers means differential power allows crosswind water taxiing impossible in floatplanes along with higher hull-in-water taxiing speeds. “We I took the controls and motored around, using rudder, aileron and differential throttles for steering as required.
