Alright so i finally got Everything worked out, plane built electronics set up, transmitter programmed
Got out to a farm and had plenty of space to fly, had it up for about 2 and a half min servo arms popped off because i'm an idiot and forgot to put the screws in. went straight up and straight back down slamming into the ground, it actually was buried in the ground up past the fire wall.
i was going to give up on it and start over but decided to fix it. with relative success, got back out tonight. for got to trim it out before tossing it in the air, Straight into a tree and straight into mud puddle.
i've pretty well given up on the motor as its filled with sand dirt mud and other garbage.
the ESC Battery and Receiver all got wet...
i've got them in bowls of rice drying out right now. wen i picked up the plane the Receiver light was still working so i'm assuming the battery was still supplying power the esc was distributing that power and the receiver was looking for the transmitter
anyway... what are the chances the Receiver is okay? thats what i'm most worried about, its a Graupner GR 16-L
i'd love if i didnt have to buy another one as its a 2+week wait for the order + more $$$
any ideas or suggestions would be great.
thanks in advance
