[QUOTE="Hotwire, post: 20152, member: 505"] Sideways into a pile not a great place to fly. Care Refresh will not help you if you don't recover the craft, but you did so it would have been replaced, I guess. Proximity flying is a bad practice around water because LiPO batteries deliver lots of current. Lots of current equals lots of corrosion, very quickly. Sparks underside has sonar and optical flow, so you could have just stayed above the piles and been safe, however neither will see the water properly. I know how you feel as I to have sent one swimming. Get another and keep going. This experience isn't failure it's education. [/QUOTE]
