    Hey guys,

    Sorry for my bad english (this is not my main language)

    I bought this Sky Viper V950STR (FPV) drone with WI-FI 2,4GHZ, and I'm kinda happy with this purchase. This was my second drone. But the only problem was that it was winter and I really really wanted to fly it outside... (there's a lot of snow outside). I know I'm stupid but.. :D So I flew this drone, was making a few clips, but I accidently crashed it into the snow. Nothing happened to drone, it was smooth, but I think snow did some damage to drone. Yeah, so I thought it was OK and nothing happened , and I continued flying.. But i noticed that WI-FI i can't connect to my camera Wi-Fi anymore.. Then I paniced a bit and wiped it with towels, dried with hair dryer and let it recover. Then i recharged it and it worked again!! I was so happy :D After like 30 mins i went outside again and wanted to record something. Everything was OK, Wi-Fi was OK, but now something went wrong with my camera (or not) or maybe signal. On my phone screen it showed only green screen, and nothing. I tried it on different phones, but it didn't work.. I dont undersand, it worked like ~30 mins ago, it was placed on my table and it didnt work anymore. Help please I wan't to fix my drone1 :(

    Many electrical devices will recover from being wet as long as they are not powered up while damp. If allowed to dry completely they will usually be fine. I fear you were a bit hasty, I would have put it in a warm place for a few days at least.
