That's what I don't understand. Every other helo I've seen with this option have a small tank like the photo above to inflate the floats. T.C.'s didn't.
Well that's why I was asking. I didn't see any type of CO2 tank to deploy the pontoons?
In the pic you posted above, it looks to me like the round cylinder just under the helo is the CO2 tank. Maybe it was removed just for filming. Aesthetics perhaps?
I would think he could push a button in the cockpit and it would inflate them. If he had a tank.
