With such a concern for the cost of an unproven, unguaranteed, accessory why do/would you risk your whole aircraft flying in inclimate weather?

There's more to precipative storms than water.

Yip I understand but makes for great footage,,me bit of a storm chaser,,I won't risk extreme winds but lighting storms are incredible to witness and photos and footage makes good viewing,,,I would hate to lose either of me drones,even been tempted to let p3s go off into tornado to see if it survive,,nothing like the states but they are there,we had tornados warning 2 days ago,,this part nick name tornado alley but yet to see one in daylight,big hills behind us cause there own weather patterns,,,,I don't have warranty either on me drones,if anything goes wrong anywhere I fix myself unless it crash and burn,,not matter if wet suit on or off,,if it goes down

Well for what it’s worth Ian, I bought the orca wetsuit some time ago and the battery seal was worth the admission price. I’ve been caught out a few times returning from a flight by light showers and the concern was with the battery compartment. Not a drop despite the whole quad being drenched. One thing I did notice were the failure of the O rings around the motors, whatever adhesive they use needs to be more effective. A bottle of superglue (loctite brand) and $2 of O ring from the local hardware shop was my fix. Not a fan of flying in the rain, but sometimes you just have to..
