Custom 9x with M64/Telemetry Mod
Re: Waterproofing electronics
One thing i found out is that this is good for quad racers that have the naze32 board and the camera electronics exposed. There are a lot o guys using liquid electrical tape, but i think this is better.

Re: Waterproofing electronics
That is good info. Thx for sharing.
I have been looking for stuff like this for a while. Found some thick sticky stuff very hard to do, not like these easy spray type.
If you don't have those water proof thing done. The most important thing when that happens is your throttle cut. Don't put any current through once the model hit the water, then pick it out of the water ASAP and use compressed air to blow the hell out of everything then let it air dry for a few days till it's completely dry before you put any electrical current through. So far I only lost one ESC. I have dumped FPV cam in the water too. You remove the lens right away to dry out the ccd. But what this video showed will take care a lot of the problem.
I do this frequently. Believe me, I have dumped in there a few times. If you think salt water is bad, try chlorinated water.
