So it had to happen eventually... If you look at the videos I've posted over the year, a fair number of them were flow over water with no issues.
Till last week that is.
The AC went down from approximately 2 ft, on the shore of a freshwater pond. I knicked a branch and the AC rolled into about 1 foot of water covering half the bird. Immediately whisked it out and removed the battery. After a few days drying in the furnace room, the bird wakes-up, connects to the TX and transmits video. It still transforms in and out of travel mode but will not unlock the props. My guess is the ESC's bit the bullet.
No physical damage from the landing, even the camera works perfectly and shoots like new (flown it since from my second unit)
I'm selling the AC only without the camera (I'll use it as a dedicated Osmo camera and spare for my other bird). Will include the case, the battery that went in (it charges and provides power to the second bird though I will not fly it myself). Also will throw in a charger.
So, a great parts bird and case, who wants it before I post it to Ebay? Not interested in parting this out Saw a water damaged inspire sell on eBay almost instantly for 362 pounds or about 530 USD (no battery, no charger). I will sell for 500 plus shipping. Any takers?
Remote will go for 300 plus shipping or will add it to the package if you buy them both (obviously you will save on the second shipping cost).
PM please if interested. Will post pics and video of the unit in action to confirm my description.
