NOT HAPPY..... My PV2 Plus went for a swim today.
Today started well exhausted one battery flying around taking some photos of a friends house.
Everything worked as it should and we got some great photos.
We live on a canal system so we took Grahams boat out in the middle of the lake.
I launched from the deck of the boat without a problem, I had 10 satellites and 100% battery.
Then two minutes into the flight my PV2 Plus became non-responsive and started to what look like a controlled descent.
Unfortunately a quad was 50 m away and only 10 m altitude.
We manoeuvred the boat as quickly as we could to save my P2V Plus from hitting the water.
I jumped into the water just as it hit the surface it quickly sank, I managed to just grab it before it sank in 10 m of water.
I am not a newbie I have been flying RC aircraft for over 20 years and have had phantom first-generation, Phantom Vision and phantom vision 2 plus.
I look after and service my gear religiously.
It just frustrates me so much that I have lost my P2Vplus because of system failure. I removed the battery instantly raced home pulled her apart and used an air compressor to blow her dry. My PV2 Plus is currently in a sealed bag of raw rice, hoping to draw moisture away from the circuitry. I was going to go to my local electronic shop and buy some circuit board cleaner ,do you guys think this would help ? Or am I wasting my time as she landed in saltwater. Advice would be much appreciated Micah
