[@BoostaholicRacing]

Bad ass video bro epic flying! 🤘🏼

[@IansRCExploits]

Well done Mike👍😄

[@3DDavesRC]

I have had homemade pontoon on my Blade 230 for few years now and it flys great off of the water. Mine are out of styrofoam. Nice video

[@kathleendircks5577]

FUN😊

So sketch, yet, success!! 👍👍

[@p.r.5628]

Well Done! Slightly bigger floats will make it more stable. I will try to make scale floats for my 600 size scale modell..

Cool but your playing with fire 🔥

[@jakelang4387]

I crashed mine in a pond...had a hell of a time finding it...just I unplugged it while still under water...let it dry out a week and all seems well

[@alwaysflying6540]

You may notice even flying off of concrete. The helicopter will drift to the side., Also, when the helicopter is hovering, you will see that it's tilted. There's a reason for this. I would make myself sound foolish. If I tried to get into the technicalities lol

[@RARenfield]

Well done! I wonder if some sort of fixed rudders on the floats would help stabilize it on the water? Good project idea for my 150s.

[@kevosrcadventures9019]

Nice I have a blade 230s do u have a video build of the pontoons??

[@hoofarted8709]

....looks like seattle area...maybe lake washington?...i lived in the tacoma area and then into yakima valley....have been thinking about doing same thing with my 330s...great vid

[@rcas350pilot8]

Put a carbon fiber tail rotor blade on mine, most of that high pitch whine is gone. It looks cool as hell with the floats. 230s V2 is a great heli.

[@copterscrawlersplanesrcpac9225]

I will look for the CF blades. Tried to find some for the main rotors online, but unsuccessful. I agree, the 230s V2 is great! I have probably 100 flights on it now, and I never get tired of it. Do you know what kind of clear lubricant that's on the main rotor shaft from the factory? I want to get some...

[@rcas350pilot8]

Just took a look and I did not notice any lubricant. I bet some light machine oil would do just fine. FYI I also replaced the swash plate with a CNC aluminum from Micro Heli. Have an aluminum motor mount from them as well but did not install it yet. Have the CF skids too but have not installed them either.

[@adamsmith5913]

Where do you buy the CF tail rotor blades? Do you just use a very small drone 3 blade prop?

[@rcas350pilot8]

@@adamsmith5913 Go to Amazon and search Blade 230s v2 parts. Mine came from Amazon as well as other upgrade parts. Another firm called Micro Heli has a ton of parts for that heli.

[@neilnelson1940]

Great job where did you get your timer

[@adamrocchi5445]

Can you please spin all the cable ties around the same way.

[@idk-ir6vv]

You are brave lol. I would not do that

[@keithwhisman]

It’s pretty much waterproof. The receiver might have issues with the water though.

[@HeliShed]

lol - nicely done.,...............
