Tough
Its amazing how tough these guys really are, this morning I was practicing on the flight sim, for my MCP x doing inverts, After that I went out side to fly the 120 and there was a bit of a breeze so hit the FM button to go in full travel on swash and zoom off goes my Heli, first thought that popped into my head was the thread on 120sr Flew Away, some how the settings in my TX changed in the stunt mode on the program for my 120 SR, they were set to the same settings as my MCP x, when I was on the flight sim maybe I didn't realize I was in model #1 when I thought I was in Model #10, but needless to say I scrambled to flip the switch back and get control of my Heli, cliped a branch on a bush and off into the pond it went, (They Sink Quick), finally was able to fish it out after 10 or 15 minutes, I thought it might have shorted the board out, but after several hours of drying out I plugged in a new battery and off she was flying, I did make the changes back in stunt mode for the 120 so this wouldn't happen again, I think I will just double check every-time on preflight check

WoW
WOW ... I run and hide at the first sign of a sprinkle or spritz .... I am willing and know that with my flying at break neck speeds I will need to replace parts but they are cheap ....I do not want to replace the 5 in 1 at 60 bucks ...so afraid of water I am . Even after hearing your story I will still run and hide at the first drops of rain

in the unfortunate event of a drowning...UNPLUG BATT FIRST!!! then continue to dry carefully.I have survived a few this way.Same with cell phones.Use the computer compressed air cans.
