How many swim noodles?

You are comparing aftermarket water scooter hulls to the billion dollar rigidly regulated and standardized commercial aerospace industry. I'd like to point out that's a little crazy.
Way more crazy than jet skis and pool noodles

Thats weird. Cause no I'm not. Quite the opposite actually. Tinker toy planes wit 2 stroke engines. That fly more than most of you ride.

That brings up an interesting question. Sparkplug you seem to be very anti pool noodle. I think? I actually don't think I've heard anything about what is bad about pool noodles but I think that's what is going on here.
How do you feel about foamed trays or sealed trays? Are those bad?

Didn’t seem to help much for me, don’t know how long it took to fill but tank was topped with water after being underwater for maybe 3-5min, if it was doing anything to slow down the sink I didn’t notice she went down pretty quick

Just curious. Instead of noodles , why not use sections of a 250 lb capacity life vest. Still kind of hickerbilly but effective.
What is the advantage?
Jokes aside hear me out because I am genuinely curious how these tiny planes are regulated. Is this something you can just do on private property at a low enough altitude to stay out of regulated air space?

Water displacement is water displacement. Wouldn't make any difference what you used.

If airplanes had never been invented. You being a crap mechanic still would be the deciding factor.

Ultralights barely have enough power to fly the way they are. Just getting off the ground in one can be exciting if its a little windy, much like a stock 440 would be in the surf. It takes something heavier and more powerful in order to have fun.

I was told a long time ago that you cant add enough floatation to a hull to keep it afloat. There just ain't enough empty space to add enough noodles or air bags. Put a retriever in the tray

Yup. That's exactly right. Fill a hull up with nothing but noodles. Then add water. Bet you current takes it away and under. A lake it might Bob. Superjets will. I've sunk many.

Just had a guy tell me what It takes to have fun. Thats like me telling you you don't know what fun is on a ski because you haven't been 20 ft upside down above a wave. Get outta here.

The proper argument to the plane analogy is, why do they have parachutes??
