Hello all, yesterday I went for a beach flight with my MA2s, my first one ever and it was real fun and real frightening at the same time. I checked winds and made sure the speed was appropriate for the MA2s, it was @ 19mph.
After such ba exciting mission, I was wondering how I could take proper mantainance of the motors and any part that may have been splashed with salt water. I was flying at around 12- 50 feet above sea level, but I spent most of the time @ 12 feet (around 4 meters) and I did go over the waves (and only the waves) at that altitude, since it's where most of the splash happens, Im worrying about the integrity of my drone's prop motors...
What are some components that may have been splashed or covered in salt after my flight?
Did I reduce the lifespan of my drone doing this?
I've read WD-40 should be put into the motors after a beach flight, is this true?? It sounds like it could kill the motors
The flight lasted 30 minutes approximately
