MCX2 into the sink!

[cspcrx]

Flying my heli around and got to close to the ceiling, right above the sink! crashed down into a bowl full of water!

Pulled it out, pulled the battery and took it apart. I wiped it down and used an air can to dry it off. Seems to fly ok. Anything else i should do?

Thanks and new flying rule established. Sink must be empty when flying!

I watched a Trex550 with a Bell fuselage go into a lake. To my surprise the fellow had it flying again a couple months later minus the Bell fuselage but with the same electronics.

Doesn't seem to have been affected. I have flown it now about a half dozen flights and seems to be ok. I think my other mishaps have had a greater impact on it than the trip into the bowl.

If you are still concerned about moisture, rice makes a great natural desiccant. Put the bird in a container (plastic storage tub) with a lid and a bowl of rice for a day and the rice will draw out any residual moisture.
