One way to start to learn the recovery of Butterfly is to do it on land. Simply hang your hands down to your sides next to your hips, slowly raise them directly up above your shoulders to position elevon, then allow them to fall back down. Try to lead a little bit from the wrists, because this is how you recover the hands and butterfly. Keep the motion slow. 

Feel the weight of the arms as they go up and feel the weight of the arms as they come back down to your sides. The line from the hips to full extension above the head is a straight line, try to make sure that the hands stay within the profile of the body, not to far in front. Not too far behind.
