[NSRCA-discussion] Something different

[Bob Richards]

Speed controllers can become toast almost instantly when coming in contact with water. The rx and servos can be flushed out out and dried with compressed air and they will probably be ok.
   
  Don't ask me how I know. :-)

  Couldn't make it out to the field today to fly in a cross wind :)
   
  So I hovered a couple of batteries with a shockflyer in the backyard.  Got a little too low over the pond and you can guess the rest.  I think the big koi grabbed it and pulled it in J
   
  All surfaces went to full throw.  I’ll let it dry out and try it but I suspect the rx and esc are toast.  I think the motor and servos should survive J
   
   
   
  And I still maintain that a pattern plane yaws into the wind.
