Making helicopter with floats actually float.

[napamule2]

Well like you say '95%'. Here is what I worked on (finally) tonight. The front float points (and skid cnt pts) were not forward enough. And the '-3.000' made it sink too much. So here is what worked best. Sorry for delays. Have been doing other 'real' things so not enough time in 25 hours of the day (ha).

Here is a short 'demo' video of the ERS B206B III FL doing 'tricks'. It's 'tame' but that don't mean it 'handles' good. Needs a little work. The MOI's are all whacked IMHO.
