[QUOTE="Heckmaniac, post: 68167, member: 13177"] Guess I was one of the lucky ones - lost mine coming back from a long distance run and came up short by 500 ft after flying on 0% for 75 seconds. The Find My Drone app showed it landed on a small island 500 ft off shore, so 5 days and 2 major thunderstorms later I found it 3/4 submerged in muddy water with just the gimble and one engine above water. Took it home, cleaned it externally and put in rice for 3 days and set on dehumidify for another day. Put a fresh battery on and first try nothing, so turned back off - 1 minute later 2nd try heard fan kick on, but nothing else, turned off - 1 minute later 3rd try fan on, lights lit and start up sound - she was alive! Been flying for nearly 2 months and dozens of flights, everything is working 100%. First few days dealt with the bottom camera fogging up and causing some take off and landing issues, but once that cleared everything works as it did when it was brand new. It was fresh water and not salt water, so hoping corrosion won't take over - but flying in open spaces just in case. [/QUOTE]
