Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes.
I sent you a couple of links where you can buy them. There should be a PM waiting in your in box.
You can make them from leftover styrofoam. Surely you still have the packing your 78" plasma display HDTV came in. See Randy Linderman's website ( Google knows where it is) for instructions.

The length of the floats is 75-80% of the distance from the propeller to the rudder hinge line.
Here is Randy's website. http://www.flyinglindy.homestead.com/skisandfloats.html
Click on the Chuck Cunningham article and it will pop up to full-size so you can read it.
The links I sent you have all sizes of floats-not just for a pico stick. It's up to you whether you want to make floats or buy them. I make mine, but I have already spent the money on materials and tooling. For $20 it's hard to beat letting somebody else do it.
