The only thing to remember with the reversed props is you still push the throttle forward to increase thrust, so it takes a lot of mental transformation—and slow maneuvering—to make sure you go in the right direction. Resist pulling back, instead letting it accelerate in ground effect (or should we say water effect) for a few seconds.
