From what I understand water can damage delicate electronics in subtle ways that can come back to haunt you later. That's not such a big deal if you're talking about a cell phone that goes for a swim because the worst thing that's likely to happen is that you'll get disconnected in the middle of a phone call. But for something like this where a crash can have serious implications, it's not hard to understand that the aircraft might be considered essentially a total loss.
In any case, yes, I would have just bought a brand new aircraft for $50 more as Fractures mentioned. If I were you'd I'd probably contact DJI right away and see if you can cancel the repair request. Based on what I've seen, it takes a few days at best after they receive payment before they actually start the repair / replacement process, so it's possible that they haven't actually started doing anything in your case. That's not to say that you're guaranteed to be able to reverse the process that's in motion, but it's worth a try. Good luck. |
