Konner K3 Anfibio: amphibous light helicopter

Not sure who was asking for this but I think it's cool they delivered. Neat.



"Water Landing of the first version of the Konner K3 Anfibio (MKI). In the tests we conducted we were able to land and takeoff from water without any issues, even shutting down the turbine and moving with electric hydrojets.

The Konner K3 Anfibio MKII (finalised version) is in production and new videos will be released soon!

Flown Jetrangers, 47's and Robbies on fixed floats, scratching my head trying to think of a practical application of this. You definitely wouldn't put it in salt. If you landed in a pond I suppose the hydro jets could keep the blades away from the trees if it wasn't too windy, though it still is going to spin on startup until the tail rotor takes effect. Like all genius developments maybe we just can't visualize the obvious that the designers had in mind. We'll see.
