Heli Floats

[Jack]

Recently finished a Hirobo .30 Lama and would like to add a set of at least
somewhat scale appearing floats.
Used the Helimax inflatables on my Shuttle in the past, they work OK, but
are subject to blowouts around the seam and are lacking in realism.
Have been thinking about epoxy/glassing some foam cylinders or something
similar.
Ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Jack

Glass over foam.
My heli guru did some
and they look great.
