Cleaning question, general application

[iaincaradoc]

Anyone have a good recipe for "bee gut remover?" I was flying static at 300' overhead, trying to hyperlapse an incoming storm.

The bees were apparently offended by the notion. Props seem to be fine, but everything is a bit crusty...

elbow grease??

elbow grease??

I'm used to using a single-edged razor blade on the windshield at least once every storm season, when I hit a cloud of whiteflies at 65+MPH. I'm more worried about damaging the MA2 plastic while scraping.

It's even on the vent grilles.

I've used window cleaner for years on R/C aircraft.

actually, to be serious, WD40 does wonders on stuff like that
I have used it on tar, glue on the car, even the plastic parts and haven't had damage
just an idea, WD40 is great for a lot of things
Q-Tip on the vents

can of compressed air for after to blow out moisture from either spray introduced into the interior spaces....(pressurize inside to out)

Grade 0000 steel wool works well on windshields but I would test on a leg. It will definitely remove insects and polish glass.

auto detailer spray wax works fairly well on the leading edges of wings but I would hesitate to spray it on my drone. Don't delay

We use WD40 on so many different things as well.

i would not use any type of solvent or very abrasive media ,have some warm water with a small amount of washing up liquid in it and just use a well wrung out cloth to gently remove the insect remains, it may take a while but it wont damage the drone, hand wipes are a good alternative, and are easy to carry in the field and use on site to remove insect remains as well
