Flying in moist conditions!!

[RedHotPoker]

I saw a Phantom 3 being flown in the rain, at a DJI New Pilot Event on video.
I wondered if DJI could build models that were actually safe to fly in heavy rain and in storms? After watching this other quadcopter video, I know it's possible...

Rube Goldberg would be proud.

After the flight, open the shell and make sure the electronics inside are dried off.

Some one has already tried, he removed the 16 screws on a P3 but something more held the top and bottom halves together...? Any ideas?

Anyway, the Phantom 3 Pro' wasn't made to torture test. And I'm not really into flying while getting my radio drenched either. Plus I wouldn't be looking forward to taking my P3P apart, as it could affect a null and void warranty issue.

Just thought it would be nice to know if we got caught in a thundershower that it would not suffer a long and painful death. Before I wiped it off and take it indoors to dry... ;-)

There's a preventative measure you could take, it's called CorrosionX. It's a waterproofing spray to protect all of the electronics.
