TOok my plane out again as usual, knowing very well in the back of my mind that i had lost control of it twice(where it just goes haywire for a while or the throttle slows down no matter how much i give), this time i was not very lucky, after flying 2 rounds, the plane started coming down, i tried straightening it but it plummeted. which would be okay in another circumstance, but upon further inspection i found the plane In Knee deep water in a swamp close to the field(concealed by grass), the whole plane is wet, just brought it to my room now, too demoralised to even check if everything is working.  Cry New Turnigy battery (barely 6 flights) and a new Sanwa RDS 8000 reciever and servo's. what should i do now? let them dry?

Take all the electronics, let them air dry, then put them in rice. Leave them for a day then take them out and test. My flying wing thought it had floats and decided to land on a lake. Did the above process and all the electronics survived.

 I agree

Please do not attempt to put them in a freezer or a/c wanting to speed up the moisture elimination... Condensation can be terrible for electronic stuff. just let them dry on their own

I flew my nutball into a gutter.. It got taken away by flowing water... Managed to retrieve it, but the electronics were wet.. I wrapped them in tissue paper and left it for a few days in rice... They work fine now! Grin
Hope this helps!

Dont dunk it in cooked rice Bang Head, what purpose will that serve?

Rice and RC electronics curry Giggle
is what you will end up with as a meal for dinner.

Common sense brother a little goes a long way,

Use uncooked rice, fill a plastic bag with uncooked rice, dry the electronics as much as possible and put it inside the bag of uncooked rice being sure to engulf the electronics from all sides by uncooked rice

I knew the idea of cooked rice sounded horrible(dry cooked rice should still have some absorption power). Hehe, RC electronics curry would be an awesome combination. Well i just burnt my ESC now(caught fire during testing), luckily my reciever, battery and servo's still work fine though so i am lucky i guess. have a spare reciever in my posession so that should be about enough to last me till i get a new one again, provided I waterproof the plane or stay away from water.
