Quadruplane - Four planes stacked one above another. The Armstrong Whitworth F.K.
Hinged surfaces attached to the trailing edge of a wing, either to increase manoeuvrability (as on a control line aerobatic model) or to increase lift at the expense of drag (as on most full size aircraft and some radio control aeroplanes). more......
In calm or light wind conditions, the elevator control should be held full back to raise the seaplane's nose and further reduce the possibility of water spray on the propeller, and to improve overall manoeuvrability of the seaplane.
