I would like to know if anyone knows what effect sea mist has on in it with a P3P? Is the salt bad on the electronics or motors?
Fair enough. To be more specific, don't fly your Phantom in any conditions that can cause moisture to get inside of it (especially salt water).That sure is vague.
Don't fly... or fly high enough so sand and sea mist is not entering your Phantom and/or motors.I should not fly at the beach on a windy day
There is really no way to know until failure. How good were the connections soldered? Exact which parts did the spray get into. A multitude of factors. Personally, if I wanted to get a shot it would not stop me once but I would not make a habit of doing it.That sure is vague. How much moisture is to much? Should I never fly in sea mist? Can make a flight? Is there something I should do when I return to base? In a sense then, I should not fly at the beach on a windy day... and a lot of days have sea mist.
Is the Pope catholic?Is the salt bad on the electronics or motors?
I was speaking from actual experience.. I have a P2 that no-one would buy for parts because of the corrosion caused by a couple of flights in these conditions.Thanks for the info from all. Sorry Meta 4 I should have said "HOW BAD is salt mist (not spray) on the electronics and motors". Seems like most others got it.
So if there are others that have real experience flying by the ocean and sea mist, I would sure be interested in your experience.
In your case depending how often you fly I'd say open your bird up every month, two or quarter and just give the insides a good look over. Defects from sea mist will stand out for sure..
Maybe a better option is picking up a cheap p2 and use that to drop bait??
Sounds like you know all about it soo I won't bother to offer advice.As for you pic, 1. that is not even close to what I am talking about. First of all what you are seeing is mostly if not all fog. Secondly, at that location, more than likely there is NO sea mist and DA no sea spray
It didn't corrode to junk but has quite a bit of visible corrosion on lots of the internalsPS - How long did it take to corrode it to junk after a couple of flights?
(I like the Phantom 3 Sea Mist Speed Dryer from Amazon... but unfortunately could not find it, so maybe I will wipe it down and use a blow dryer).
Thanks,
