[QUOTE="Denver, post: 41228, member: 3711"] Hi All, you think it will never happen to you, but yes it does. While out last week I made a mistake and my Spark ended up in a river. He was in there around 20 mins till I managed to get him out. I immediately removed the battery which would not switch off with random sequences of lights flashing. The Spark had water pouring out of it. I took it home and removed the cover and left it near a heater to dry out for a week. I could not believe it when after fitting a battery it powered up as normal!! I carefully tried a very short flight and everything appears okay, camera works, even front sensor works, lucky or what. Will see what the long term problems might show up but so far so good. The only thing I can think is it went down in a Scottish river, it was crystal clear which was how I was able to see it and recover. Doubt if I will ever have the same trust in it that I had before but amazed at what my Spark recovered from. [/QUOTE]
