You could easily add floats to a quad rotor. Just use a couple sticks

I wonder how it would effect the 'lift' and other basic aerodynamics. Might even make it tough to get it out of the water...



I imagine that as long as you didn't interrupt the rotor wash, it

would work fine. They don't really "push" as much as "pull" anyway.

True Greg, but they're really not that powerful either. and getting the little noodly feet out of the water has a bit of a vacuum pull unlike taking off from dry land. Oh well. I'd work...

Those things are more powerful than you think. They mount some pretty heavy cameras to them on
gimbal mounts. Even that little one of mine is powerful enough to carry a camera.

This one uses those expensive homemade floats (plastic water bottles), and seems to do quite well.
