Since I have my Canadair waterplane pretty much assembled,it reminded me that electrics and water are not a good combination
I'm going to have to protect the esc's etc.,as I know from previous experience with floatplanes,no matter how careful you are,water will find it's way in.
I used to put my rx and battery pack in a balloon,and that seemed to work reasonably well.
However,with electric power there is also heat dissipation required,so the balloon doesn't seem such a good idea.In any case,most cables come out either end,so a balloon is again pretty useless.
I've read on RC groups about some stuff called "conformal coating".Does anyone have any practical experience with this stuff,and can it be bought in a small quantity?I don't want to be spending $100 upwards,as most of this stuff seems to cost.If I coat the electrics,will heat be an issue?
Is CRC 2049 a good alternative?I can get that in a spraycan for about $22 nz.
Does anyone have any other stuff they use to protect their esc's,ubec's,etc.?
I'll be giving the canadair a good wringout on land before I go anywhere near a puddle,but it's as well to be prepared.
