    @Stingray I uploaded it four hours earlier, but he gave credit so it's fine.

    @Aquaexploder @Stingray This is an almost direct copy of mine, but those floats look kinda nice. Also if you stay on water for too long it starts sinking :P

    Works best in-air launch; 30-40% power. Power off landing. Great concept, keep it up!
