Default Talon Gets a little Wet!!!

Well a few of my flying buddies came out to my house today to do some flying in my back yard. The way my field at home is set up is you have to take off and basically fly over the 16 acre lake we have. There is plenty of room to land but it is kind of tricky getting it in. I flew my Talon Profile and let me say I got it a little wet today! Video coming soon!

Yes a lot of fun! We got a new prop on and fired the engine up and ran it for a while Still going great! None of the servos got wet except for the throttle but it seemed to work fine and the rx didnt get wet except for the antennas got splashed. Only thing I am worried about is the switches. The plane operated fine for 15 to 20 minutes that we had it on.
