When increasing from idle to full power the conventional high engine mounting produces a change in pitching moment that is greater and more sudden than that for the Genesis when moving the propellers from low to high positions. So no more pilot training is needed than for any other amphibian. The pitch down tendency due to a high thrust line is offset by the added down wash across the horizontal tail. One of the most difficult and dangerous situations for a twin engine pilot is when one engine fails on takeoff. In this situation the Genesis' interconnected engines vastly reduces the workload on the pilot in the emergency situation.
Props are only de-coupled for taxi operation.
The Landing gear drag is approximately balanced above and below the wing - thus little pitch change. The prop wash downloads the tail - thus approximately balancing nose down thrust with tail down inverse lift.
