Important tip for seawater/saltwater: Remove battery asap. And then dunk it completely and flush it in freshwater before all the drying procedure. Otherwise salt will stay in and will attract moisture and corrosion. After drying relubricate all metal parts. Happy flying and diving to You all :)

Most of the time it’s over in salt water. Corrosion wil do its work, faster if you start after a water damage. It may fly now… but for how long? The motherboard, GPS board with IMU and barometer, ESC board (Engine Speed Controller) etc and connectors will affect the electronics in the long run. Not always do.
Good review again Steve. Very nice looking RC Helicopter.

Well done Captain !!; the footage of the Copter against the grey sky / clouds looked amazing !!(and very life like!!); glad to to see the Copter "rescued itself" after drying out !!!

Again a very nice edited video! The different camera angles and the footage from your mini drone makes it a joy to watch.

It's really a NAVI heli!

Cool nice water landing Steve
Its a great heli love mine. Inverted flying was great and makes it easy to learn inverted hovering and flying.
Nice video Steve. Couldn't have scripted it better, with the water rescue of the water rescuer! Nicely detailed helicopter, and if it were 3 times bigger, I would consider it on looks alone. I fly a lot over salt water, and in my experience, a fresh water rinse, followed by a 91% isopropyl alcohol(71% works too) rinse and brush if you can, has saved me more than a few servo's, and flight control boards. That said, it was an enjoyable video. It looks pretty cool by itself where you can't scale it. I was going to say how flying this is like a camera drone, and not much skill is involved, but damn, those automatic features! My camera drone lost signal, and decided to do a get home dash, only not going high enough to clear the tree between me and the drone. Lol. Keep up the cool videos.
THANK YOU! I was wondering if it would still work

Anything electronic if it gets wet, remove the power as fast as possible, like take the battery out in this case. It's not that the water does the damage per se, it's more that if the circuit is powered on it can cause the electronics to short. Oh and let if dry naturally, don't use a hairdryer or put it on a radiator. Funnily enough, about 15 minutes before I sat down to watch this, I was flying my little Eashines spy heli indoor. The heli flew in to the curtains and fell in the cats water fountain thing. The worst thing about it was that I had used a bit of tape to keep the battery in place as it kept falling out, so it took me a minute or 2 to remove the battery. I've got it drying out in it's box, I'll try it again tomorrow, hopefully its OK.
It's not that I wouldn't spend that kind of money on an RC heli, it's more I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a heli this size and this type, like a scale model. If I was dropping that kind of dough it would be on a 'proper' RC heli, like one that could fly 3D and all that good stuff.

@@kabutze3312 Maybe start with something like Eachines E128 or Rc Era V128, it's basically the same thing just with a different name, they are less complicated to fly, after you have flown them a bit, go for something like a Blade Nano S3, which will be a bit tougher to fly. Have a look at some youtube videos, there's loads out there.
Looks real some times. Upside down looked strange? I should try my Quad upside down?
Very cool 😎
That was cool! Especially the water landing! I had thought it would be neat if the helo could come with Canadian Navy markings, only to discover that Canada's Navy doesn't own any aircraft at all, let alone helicopters! All aircraft that operate in support of RCN (even the ones operating from ships) are owned by the RCAF. How weird, is that? It is so strange to go to all the trouble of integrating the service branches into a unified force, and then to demarcate who runs which functions so severely. I'd say its counterintuitive. But given that Canada's prime minister is ... oh, nevermind.

Someone needs a Canadian military history lesson. RCAF is Canada, as in the Royal Canadian Air Force, which is the same designation as per Canada’s involvement of WWII. We do have the Sikorsky CH-148 Cyclone as our heli on warships.
I love scale rc helis.❤❤❤
I have an RC ERA C186 RC helicopter that I won off an online bidding site, cost me right around $40 out the door, if it went in the water like this one just did, I'd probably cry a little bit😂
Just ordered one through your Link! 3 Batts. No Cam. 😊

I dunked my Mini SE drone in afresh water stream and it lives still. I just stick it in the sun afterwards and then when I got home stuck it in a bowl of rice overnight. I got very lucky I believe.
I wonder how much weight can it pick up?
Geez....for that $$$ you'd think it would deploy a raft to save itself in the event of an unplanned water landing;). Might be dicy in the rain though! Fun vid!

First thing you should do after getting wet your electronic device is detach battery and dry it, not switching on ;)

Is there a hook or something on the bottom of the heli to carry things with it?
From an helicopter to a submarine, think it likes the sky better, if not more swimming lessons are required 😂👍
Is that lake fresh water?

Normally to increase or decrease the headspeed it needs to be programmed into the flight controller. You'd probably need some form of software to do it with this unit and/or a hobby grade transmitter.

what is difference between optical flow mode vs gps mode ? does it more stable on gps mode or the same with optical flow mode ? thank you !
@CAPTAINDRONE798
2 ай бұрын
Optical flow means it uses a camera on the bottom of the heli to look at the ground a stabilize itself. This means it only works if you are 10 feet or lower to the ground. When you fly indoors you use optical flow. GPS mode means it connects to satellites in space so you use it outdoors at any altitude and it does not work indoors.

Great video Steve but has banggood gone crazy?? I remember a few years ago when you could get stuff from them for a good price. $900 for this thing is ceazyi was expecting it to be $400 maybe but $900??? They can't say it's the materials because you could get an aerial atom for $400 or less and it's gas 3 axis gimbal 4 brushless .motors gps everything. I know the radio looks ok but it's still on the cheap side. I don't want to sound cheap but come on. I don't like to feel ripped off either. Please pass my quotes to banggood if they ask what people thought in reviews.

It is $500 US. It sells very well. You must be located someplace where the currency is not valued high against the US dollar.
This minor mishap with it ending up in the water is why I remain paranoid about flying $1500 drone anywhere where it would be impossible to retrieve or find. If this happens to Steve with hundreds\thousands hours of experience, then the risk is much higher for the rest of US. I have already gone as far as attaching an Airtag to it.
