Never mind the FAA! What's about the passengers? Out of curiosity, my question remains as it is part of good piloting to predict the worst case scenario when flying a drone either commercial or pleasure. Even if no incident occurred, this flight over an hot air balloon appears to me as...

.... and what are the consequences of a drone hitting or falling into a hot air balloon?

I am still using a laptop submerged in a serious flooding home incident, fully reimbursed by my insurance... (the insurance rep did not see any hope... my girlfriend neither). This to say if a drone fell into water and can be fished out there is a 75% chance of recovery (if only the parts) and...

I would be interested in knowing from you what would be your procedure if your camera (or other piece of electronic equipment) dipped into water. Any different than what I mentioned above about the perfectly working H being thrown into the soup resulting from a momentary lapse of attention ...

to In my opinion it does not need to be distilled water as the H isn't powered on and will only be when it is dried. But maybe are you thinking the residues left from plain water might affect the electronics? (as opposed to no residue left from distilled water?).

I would not assume the electronic is shot... Salt water (or fresh water) does damages only when it is in open air (out of the water). Oxygen is needed to start the corrosion process (salt or fresh water alike). If you ever fish your H out, keep it in the water until you are ready to rinse...

Is there any way of identifying old and new versions of Typhoon H when buying it? What I mean is that I did not buy right away knowing that bugs would need to be fixed. I expected later versions would be improved, hardware and software wise and so would be the camera. If this is true there...
