Will the electronics survive a water crash? As a beginer, I expect to have a mishaps.

Yes they will survive. Make sure you have all the covers on, but because its made out of foam even if you flip upside down it will float on top of the water. The only thing that got wet for me was the motor which is alright to get wet.

Well, I know my AR6210 6-Channel DSMX Spektrum receiver is NOT waterproof that I put in mine. Pretty darn sure the included servos are NOT waterproof. MY advise, use a simulator first......and fly your beaver on land first, until you get the hang of it. Hitting water the wrong way will not be forgiving.

No clear cut answer, it would depend on the severity of the crash. If it's a easy nose over, the receiver and speed controller should not get too wet. If your plane does cart wheels on the water or a nose dive, it my get dunked. Make sure you have a way to retrieve your plane if it crashes. RCgroups webpage has a large forum on this particular plane and more information can be found there.

You need to seal up the electronics bay. Glue should work. This beaver on floats is probably not a great beginner plane. I would try the wheel kit first to make sure that you can fly the plane on its own first.

Mine did it just depends how far it goes under water and how long you wait before you dry it off

I've had mine out in the rain. No issues. As mentioned below, the connector ports have rubber flaps over them. Also agree that I wouldn't take it in the pool. But no issues riding in the rain with it.

Somewhat...I have run it in very sloppy / raining conditions and it has been fine...my guess is that you probably don't want to fully submerge it because of the motors (not good in general for a motor to be submerged...these are not fully enclosed) and the battery / controller unit.

You can but water ruins electronics! I don't know that much about it was a gift for my Grandson! He loved it! It will climb all over!

It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited. I have been caught in the rain, with the light, and it worked perfectly. It's important to note that I was too aggressive with the rubber USB cover the second or third time I charged the light... and it popped off. My plan was to replace it - but I've been just too busy to get to that "C" list item. In spite of the exposed USB, the light re-charged flawlessly. This is a good value - several friends purchased the same light based on my experience and first hand observations. The charge lasts a long time and the unit is powerful, but not bulky. Good luck and be safe out there. It's generally not safe to ride in the rain. So while I'm happy to respond - my experience is limited.

I've ridden it in many heavy rains without trouble. Once I did not close the USB port and rode in rain, it got wet inside and stopped working properly. I had to wait for it to dry out and do a reset as instructed by customer service, it worked again after doing that.

material appears to be water resistant nylon and the electronics are inside the second section in a pocket in the bottom.. it is a sealed battery and there is a plug and a flap for the ac connector for charging... and the cables are also in an inside pocket.. so my guess is that it would be fine in the rain for a bit but if it was soaked through and through you may have an issue..

It might be....or it might not be. I could never get it to work in the first place, so I really don't know if the device would withstand moisture or wet conditions. It's a poorly engineered device in my opinion with a high failure rate

To be honest I'm not certain. I've never dropped it in water or tested its water resistance. The battery compartment seems pretty watertight though. Sorry I couldn't help you out. -J

I think the case will be ok in light rain and if an accidental spill happened. It will not be a good idea to submerge in water though. It's a sturdy case...better than others I've seen and used.

It has worked after getting wet but not marketed as waterproof. Try plastic, clear ziploc bag. It will not interfere with the functions.

hi, I don't tink so, beach weather conditions are very bad to the electronic products, bad functions will come soon....

Please dry it out -- bone dry, and then try. Hopefully this has not been tired when wet. As Martin says : Electronics and flood waters are not compatible.

I have not alowed my phantom to get wet as it has electronic circuitry critical to its operation. I would have no expectation that device is in any way suited to wet conditions.

I've had mine completely submerged before. While in use. With no problems at all.

I haven't left it out and let get directly rained on but I bought a waterproof bag to transport and store while on the boat I had a regular eton ruckus that got wet and quit working I haven't noticed any overheating issues yet

No electronic equipment holds up well to sand. Sand can get in the USB and sound jack. I think it can also find its way through the speaker cover. I treat it like a phone...no water and no sand.
