So, I bought a Breeze the other day, because I've been drone-curious for a while and thought it would be a relatively inexpensive way to crash and learn To that end, I bought a couple extra batteries and props & have been flying it crash-free for a few days until....
Just after recording this:
... I got a little too fancy and took a wee dive into the water below Oh no!
Breeze was under 3-4 feet of water when I finally got down from that cliff a couple minutes later... quickly assessed the depth and current and jumped in fully clothed to retrieve it. Drone was still beeping and I pulled the lipo immediately and a couple minutes later had it cracked open and on the defroster in the truck for the half hour drive home.
Fully intent on disassembling it and putting it on rice for a day, I nevertheless failed to resist the urge to see if it still flew as it looked "pretty dry" when I got home - sooooo I popped in the battery... and it flew as if nothing had happened.
It's on rice now anyway for good measure. Just may have gotten lucky here Perhaps I'll recover video of the crash and recovery if it's on the drone, we'll see!
Also... Hi, Steve!
