"It's certainly the first Wren turbine helicopter on floats, and
may be the first-ever turbine helicopter to have floats.

I think it's a brave thing to do and it shows a lot of faith in our
engine, as I believe a flameout and auto-rotation could end
with a very wet helicopter.

Has anyone done this before? Perhaps anyone with pics of an

earlier one could post them"

A beautiful July afternoon overlooking Lough Erne.

That tank looks almost empty - don't worry. it autos well
even though it's almost 7kg.

A new set of floats, you just can't keep away from the water.

There's a lot packed inside that canopy.
