Hi Forum,
I had an interesting crash today. I was hitting the ground pretty hard with the landing skid. The flying field was soaking wet and I saw that the trail rotor splashed some water in the air. The helicopter bounced right back in the air and without any input from me flew away. I couldn't even disarm the aircraft. The helicopter was still somehow stabilized since it was flying just in a straight line away from me. After a few seconds the helicopter disarmed. Murphy's law it was right about a small lake. The helicopter was for at least 20min completely under water until I could reduce it.
Once I made it out of the water, I used alcohol to get the water out of the electronics. The receiver, ESC, motor and Servos seem to be ok. The Spirit unit however is only showing a flashling red led and won't initialize. I tied to connect with the WIFI link, but even there no luck.
My question now, is there any chance to reactivate the unit?
I know it might be a lot, but the fact that all the other electronic parts survived made me hopeful.
