Hey everybody I am not a normal post person but need to share this story. On tuesday of this week I crashed my Phantom 3 Adv. into a lake she sunk to the bottom approx. 6 feet under I jumped in and retrieved her knowing full well this was the kiss of death. I pulled the battery and card out and watched as the water drained out. I slow began drying it off with a towel  knowing we had made our last flight together. I chose to bring it home place it in my basement that I run a dehumidifyier in and patiently waited till today 4days I stuck a fresh battery in and hit the button and to my amazment she fired up I then took her out side and I had some hope everything seemed great I sent her up and she is flying like a real champ. I am just really happy this worked out and wanted to tell this story to give others hope that it may be savable after a crash.

Here is a shot I took right before I crashed her in this body of water....
