Take Your Stick to the Water
The Stick float kit converts your Stick 1000 mm for takeoffs and landings on calm water.
We print each part with Regular PLA. The lightweight design helps preserve the model’s balance and stable flight characteristics.
Lightweight Float Kit ⚖️
Weight is critical on the 1000 mm model. The complete float set weighs approximately 98 grams 🪶. For the best performance, keep the model’s total flight weight below 820 grams, including the floats.
Also, apply only the necessary amount of adhesive, primer, and paint. Extra weight can increase the takeoff distance and affect flight performance.
Easy Installation
The floats replace the original landing gear and use the model’s existing mounting system.
Therefore, you can switch between floats and standard landing gear without making permanent changes to the fuselage.
Assembly and Waterproofing 💧
3D-printed parts may contain microscopic gaps. Therefore, you must seal the floats before using them on water.
During assembly:
- Apply CA adhesive along every joint
- Spread the adhesive around each joint
- Check for visible gaps
- Avoid using unnecessary adhesive
After assembly:
- Apply one thin primer coat
- Apply one thin final paint or waterproof coating
You can use acrylic paint or another lightweight waterproof coating. However, avoid thick layers because they add unnecessary weight.
Finally, test both floats for leaks before installing them on the model.
Protecting the Electronics ⚠️
Water may enter the fuselage during takeoffs and landings. The Stick has drainage openings, so collected water can leave the model. However, these openings cannot protect the electronics.
Therefore, we strongly recommend waterproofing the Servos, Receiver, and ESC.
Keep the electronics as dry as possible. In addition, inspect the complete system after every water flight.
