Freewing F16 Water Damage Help!

[fhhuber]

Get electronics cleaning spray and spray the heck out of the electronics to drive out water.

The electronics cleaning spray will completely evaporate RAPIDLY and not cause corrosion. Alcohol will actually pull moisture out of the air and you end up with the corrosion despite trying to flush the water out.

Note that you have to open cases to get the water out of servos and RX. Might have to remove/replace heat shrink on the ESC.

Then treat the electronics with http://www.corrosionx.com/electronics.html

next time, rinse the electronics with 91% alcohol before ya do any other recovery efforts, then blow dry with a no heat hair dryer.
including every connection/extension.

Try the RX first , but i'd say theres some water in the connections / wires still . I've had this with my float plane a few times

Welcome to Hobby Squawk! I would change out the receiver first.

I flew my Freewing F16 and while making a turn to come for a landing the plane went down nose first as I attempted to pull up. It landed in a pond belly first but the canopy came open and the battery flew out.

I have cleaned and dried parts and got a new battery. When I power up the plane and my remote the servos and landing gear start twitching. The engine works completely fine. Had anyone experienced this and where would I start...should I troubleshoot the receiver, control board, or replacing the servos? Someone please help!
