Hi, I have bought a Phantom X-1 with a Rotax 503 eninge. I need lessons, can I get instructed a few things online for FREE. Maybe asking a price like FREE is pretty hard to get, I know that. But, some people are genouros and want people to start flying.
You may be able to get some "free" basic information on how the flight controls work, but that's probably the extent of "free" info.
I would contact any Phantom owners in your area, or for that matter, Quicksilver MX

Seabreacher Watercraft the Ultimate Diving Machine
Innespace Productions, a watercraft design and fabrication company in Northern California, has just launched their latest and most advanced submersible watercraft: The Seabreacher X. This exciting new version is based on the dolphin inspired Seabreacher J that the company has been selling for the last two years. The X model sports a more aggressive Shark style body as well as upgraded interior treatments. The X model also steps up the performance envelope with a 260hp supercharged engine, propelling the vessel to a top speed of 50mph on the surface and 25mph below. The new shark design grew out of necessity as much as aesthetics; the higher output engine required more air intake than the main snorkel (mounted in the vessel’s dorsal fin) could provide, so they added an additional snorkel in the shark style tail. The new drag-boat style wrap-around canopy was primarily designed to reduce heat build up in the cockpit. This, combined with the gaping jaws, give the whole vessel a far more menacing presence.
The new boat can sustain high speed dives and then breach the surface, launching the entire vessel clear out of the water. The new fully vectored thrust system mimic the tail articulation of real aquatic animals like sharks and dolphins. Innespace Productions, a watercraft design and fabrication company in Northern California, is now offering custom-built Seabreachers for sale. These unique dolphin-inspired submersible watercraft can jump, dive and roll like real dolphins, with cruising speeds of 40 mph and underwater speeds of 20mph—all within the safety and security of a dry, sealed cockpit. “Its the most fun I’ve had in the water, ever,” said Dave Mordal, host of Wreckreation Nation on Discovery. Innespace says that these new recreational two-seaters are designed to be easy to drive and maintain for their customers worldwide. “After over ten years of prototyping, we have really developed a design that is very intuitive to drive, safe, and easy to service” said company co-owner and designer Rob Innes. “We want our customers, many of whom live overseas, to feel comfortable purchasing our vessels.” An international media sensation, these unusual watercraft have been featured on countless television programs, with upcoming features on the Travel Channel and Discovery. You might have also seen them in Austin Powers Goldmember, Monster Garage, The Today Show, or as one of Time magazine’s “Best Inventions of 2006.” “If you own one, you’re gonna get noticed,” said Dan Piazza, co-owner of Innespace. In addition to individual sales, Innespace also offers demonstrations and sponsorship opportunities for companies looking for that extra attention. Vessel prices start at $48,000 USD, with an extensive list of options including underwater viewports, tinted canopy, custom upholstery, and electronics packages.
