Thanks to forum and YouTube all back working after creek crash.
Took about 20 min to find hung up under log in chest high water but I was not going to give up.
Took battery out shook water out and used blow dryer. Water was pinkish.
Repeated a few times and sat in front of fan.
Happened Sat afternoon and by Sunday aircraft would start up and all motors working fine but camera fogged and gimbal out of whack but no physical damage.
Being a retired professional photographer I knew camera would clear after a day or so because I sunk many cameras and saved all.
So after forum search and YouTube I checked half moon under 5 screws but it was correct. Then look at Allen screw where gimbal arm hangs and saw it was not on flat spot so adjusted and after gimbal auto adjust all fine.
I did use electronic spray in several places and that helped with gimbal motor overload.
I flew with battery that went in water and it worked but doesn't seem to want to charge after my test flight. Still has 3 lites left of charge.
So thanks to all on forum and YouTube.
Still going after 4 treetop to ground crashes and one creek swim. Tough bird
