Mavic water recovery system attachment.

Give your Mavic a life jacket for easy recovery when ditching in water! It's not intended for landing or taking off from water, but possible if needed. The frame provided with this download has its rear click-on attachments moved back a bit for more stability. The "pool noodles attachment" will also fit on the following frame: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1986993. You'll need to print four pool noodle attachments to make it work, as well as a small piece from an actual pool noodle. The "pool noodles attachment" has been created for a 60mm diameter pool noodle, but bigger or thicker diameters should fit too. There are two versions of the attachment: both will work fine, but version 2 is theoretically stronger and has a better fix to the main frame. On the Mavic pilots forum, there's a nice thread about a water recovery system, but I decided not to join that community due to its moderation policy. Here are some tests done by Pete Johnstone: Testing Mavic Waterfloats flight characteristics at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83QHnY7GyiY.
