Default Keys to flying in ground effect:

Keys to flying in ground effect:

-want sensitive control so can react quickly to "squirelyness"
-large stabilizer (perhaps a stabilator) and longish tail boom
-optimized control surfaces for good control at low speed
-best to fly only in low wind
-long tow rope to avoid turbulence of or crashing into boat

-anything missing?
