Land on Water with Float Skids

Ever feel boring to fly on your backyard or grassland? Or do you notice that whenever there is a pool or lake, it is tempting to fly above it. Fun always come with challenges, time to try something new!

Most of us afraid of dunking the helicopter in water, but some said all electronics function well after the dive?! Anyway, it can only be true for pure water without any other substances conduct electricity, just like the case of Breaking in Brush Motor.
What you need before you land on water is to skewer the landing skids into a pair of pool noodles which made of styrofoam, 2.5 x 2.5 x 15 inches easily floats 260 grams (CX2). But if DIY, you have to take care about the Center of Gravity (CG) which affect the flight performance. Or you may consider the ready made float skids if you are lazy enough.

What if you really dunked your bird into water? If you worry, some suggest bring along with rubbing alcohol to displace water from electronics.
