Water rudders steering and retract

Post by woodhick803 » Tue Feb 27, 2018 6:11 pm

I am having difficulty steering with water rudders--little control. I think I read that the flaps should be set in "cruise" position while doing a water taxi? Will this correct my lack of water steering?

How do I retract the water rudders after take off? Thanks much
