I'd like one that can float so I can fly it around the boats and not worry about it sinking. |

Here ya go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0MxTKM2uVo Or tie a couple empty plastic water bottles to the bottoms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrArOJUlE0E That last one seems to do better than the first. The last half of the video gives the copter perspective. |

I'm going to get this one for the grandkids to play with at Solomons Island this year. http://tinyurl.com/n2ed6ke It looks like it's got enough protection to save the props a little. One of the sales people in the LHS (that's 'Local Hobby Shop' for you rank amateurs) was flying one of these. Fast, maneuverable, very cool. And the price isn't bad, especially as a camera is included. The reviews aren't bad either! |

Would be pretty cool when out salmon fishing, to get air views of the fleet and the catching. Need floats if you ran out of battery before returning. |
