So  I had been flying down by the lake a few days ago and everything went fine.  Then, later that day I went to fly at my house. I took off and the home pint never updated. The weather was perfect and I was only about 25 feet up when my Spark disconnected.  It started flying back to the lake!  I started running after it to get connection back but it didn’t work.  It ended up flying about 3 miles and under up landing in the lake about 20 feet from land and 50 feet from the home point.  I found this out from a few people that were their at the time. Also, I didn’t happen to be recording at the time. I haven’t found my Spark yet and I have searched twice above water and went diving once.  I still plan on looking for it.  Does anyone have any suggestions or ways to help?

Hi, we're sorry to know about the mishap that happens to your drone. We highly recommend syncing your flight records and contact our support via the link below. For additional information, if you've managed to retrieve your drone, for the sake of security,  we indeed don’t repair water damaged drone. Because aircraft consists of a large quantity of sensitive electrical components, after it is water damaged, electrical components may be corroded, thus affecting its stability and security. Through the related tests, the repair of water damaged units needs to replace all the relevant components, and it is possible that the cost of repairing a water damaged drone is far higher than buying a new drone. Therefore, we advise that water damaged units are ineligible for repair service. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.
