I wonder if it would be possible to make inflatable floats that could be deflated once in the air to reduce drag. Maybe a little electric air pump to inflate them again before landing? I looked at a T-Bird II that was forsale, it had inflatable floats that were fed from the exhaust of the Rotax engine. Didn't look closely at the rigging for that as it was hanging from the roof of the hanger... The owner was deceased, but seller attested to seeing it work as setup...
