Pop-outs

I have flown both types, The fixed floats is fun for about 20mins, There is night flight limitations unless you have your nav lights fitted up top, They don't fly very well in the wind, its like driving an old Cadilac down the interstate,and the floating r44 will take on water unlike the belly of the 22 will sit at least 1 foot out of water. The pop outs are the way to go faster, just recommend care where ya park it nd make sure no dogs chew on your float pack.
