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?

Some reading for you-
http://www.angelfire.com/on/dragonfl...teroflift.html There
are what appears to be some typos in it and he also states that the
stall (of the wing) is because of low airspeed. Hmm! I was taught that
it was caused by too much angle of attack. But, some good info in this
page in my opinion.
