[NSRCA-discussion] Something different

[Stuart Chale]

Yup I'll let it dry a few days and see what works or doesn't.  I just
thought it was funny :-)

If it is a castle controller it should be fine. You just have to let it dry
for a few days and make sure there's no contaminants.

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. :-)

You may be OK. Water (clean) causes minimal damage to electronic components.
It's the contaminants that do the damage. Flush everything with distilled
water.

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 :-)

 

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 :-)

 

 

 

And I still maintain that a pattern plane yaws into the wind.
