Um What can i say , it floats ,
I built it to chase wind surfers and wave riders surfers and boats,
A drink bottle taped to the quad is probably better ,
But when asking a stranger if i can film her/him on their sail /surf / what ever board the prop guards make them feel safe
Cheers
Ps Waterproofing by marine silicone spray used on motor Boat electricals, messy but clear,
