Has anyone added Floatation to the H

[KR200]

I expect my H to come this week, I hope. As an avid water-sports person much of my flying will be over water. I have dunked a cheapo quadcopter in the past so would like to fit some flotation to my H for over-water flight. Perhaps pool noodles could be fit over the landing gear. Has anyone tried this or other solutions?

Your battery will hate you.

It's also worth mentioning the CG of the H would make this a pretty unstable idea.

Flying your H over water? May want to try a set of these.

Thanks Cilent1. The thread shows a Q500 with the pool noodles landing and flying off water. I realize salt water would probably be a very bad idea but a fresh water dunking might not result in serious damage if care is taken drying the H. Motors etc. would be fine. I'll see how the noodles fit the H when I get it. C of G should not be a problem

hi
you do understand that if your H fall's in the water is going to be an expensive swim for your H . water and electronics don't mix .this is what i use .
i don't use the foam pipe covering for flotation but it may keep your H from sinking to the bottom of a lake or in a bay or in the ocean , i use them for a more stable landing especially on high winds days . on an H the landing skids go's up that may be another type of foam to configure .
fly safe and stay above water .

I use corrosionX on all my flight controllers and ESCs. You will have to take the H apart to water proof it. Watch this video.
