Home made pontoons aka training wheels #2

Dont know if this would be of interest, but I made these pontoons out of cualking foam (tubular-solid) from home depot or lowes- they weigh NOTHING and are very spongy and soft for landings, will float the helis also. I shaped them on a bench sander and cut a half inch deep slot in the top to sink the skids into. they are very secure and I used tape for added color/visability......Just an idea from a noob

I've been thinking of floats but I hadn't thought of using that foam stuff. I would like to try some pond flying.

I like them. Thats a great idea.
