they do have Styrofoam planes and flying wings and flying disks so at least its retrievable if it goes down on you.
If you're referring to RC planes using floats, taking off from and landing on water, they can. And that's without flaps. Just rudder, throttle, and elevator. The yellow plane is a HobbyZone Champ like mine, with a set of homemade floats. The white and blue plane is a HobbyZone Super Cub (much larger plane) and is shown with a set of optional factory made floats. You'd be surprised at what these simple, foam, trainer type RC airplanes can do.
