PILOT NOTES:
Don't land too hard on the water for the H8K still has high energy when you are going at speed. Level stabilizer is a great thing to engage when you are about to land.
1. Put full flaps
2. Engage level stab at about 50m
3. The H8K will settle down into the water and land itself.
When you are landed and skimming the water at speeds BELOW 170km/h, put one of your wingfloats into the sea to slow your A/C down a bit. When you reach the speed of 80km/h, put your left OR right side engines on full and apply full opposite rudder so the plane will go into a slide. From there you will stop.
