I think I came up with an inexpensive solution to a weatherproofing measure for the MA2.
From what I understand, the main vulnerability to flying the MA2 in the rain is the battery button and the seal between the drone and the battery. Dampness can and in fact does go into these areas when flying in wet conditions. The motors are impervious to water as the same types are often used in RC boats and such.
There are commercially available suits who’s engineering seems to be primarily focused on the battery. I figured, well,... How about some 3M foam tape? $1.07 from the dollar tree and I figure I have at least 10 instances/applications of weather protection. Leaves no residue when removed..
