Absolutely true Capt KO. I asked Drone Nerds in Miami yesterday and they feel all is beyond repairable went in salt or even brackish water.

In retrospect, I believe there was a combination of errors resulting in this crash. 1/ I feel the compass coordination was not completely finished, but I was allowed to take-off. 2/ Takeoff took place at a more desolate location than where I was trying to land. 3/ My wife placed the landing...
