Wow! I really enjoyed that. You guys who fly your copters over water amaze me. I'm not sure I have enough faith in my abilities or the quad's to not take a dip. I'd hate to watch all that gear go under. Do you have floatation devices? Have you ever lost gear?

Hi Darrel,
It was my first time flying over water.
At first I wanted to add flotation devices, but I decided not to do that because, my quad has 50+ hours of flying time. Never crashed because of a technical error. Besides, if you crash from 100+meters up you can write your quad off aswell..
Those flotation devices catch a lot of wind, maybe come off and cause a crash.
Kinda high risk high reward strategy..
Once I launched the quad from the boat, you don't think about crashing in the water anymore, you only think of getting the money shot!
