Cheap DIY RC Floats

Time to repair our VQ Models Twin Otter by making her a brand new set of floats. We investigate two very low cost methods that won't break the bank.

We investigate how to build float pontoons from corrugated expanded sheet plastic (Correx / Antinox), and also a method for building using expanding foam inside a 3D printed mould.

The finished floats came out at around £20 per pair, and were very easy to make. After a bit of tweaking they worked very well (with some mishaps along the way).
