Drone in Water…

It was bound to happen eventually ^^ I couldn’t wait untill everything gets dry, so I went for a flight. I was doing fine and did’t even go straight into the puddle, but found myself in one anyway after a mid-air meeting with a branch 😉 It was not totally submerged, but definitely all the electronics had water on or near it.

I had seen some videos earlier of drones even flying after they got wet… didn’t count on it but tried it anyway. No luck. Wouldn’t be reliable anyway. So that was it for the day. I went home, disassembled pretty much everything and left it overnight to dry off.

This is nice, if u think about it, how this thing didn’t break completely. It’s also quite scary what could have happened to the LiPo battery xD

Here you can see pretty much everything that goes into the drone, but with it’s ‘vains’ just spread out:

The next day I plugged a battery and hoped for the best… Quite suprisingly all went well and the drone was functinal. I cleaned all parts and put it back together.

So – gathered all the toys, and were back in the game 😉
