This is a realisation of an idea i've kicked around in my head for a while. An experiment in Underside Mounted Rotors, which I instantly found to have no real advantage, make this thing far less stable on water (even though the whole point of the Kingfisher was to be amphibious) and, due to forward propeller placement, gave it a nasty tendency to pitch down without careful use of Trim. But it does look cool.

Ok it looks like the abandoned lovechild of the Caspian Sea Monster and Harold The Helicopter but still
