Always double check your battery straps!

It was really wind out this evening so I thought i would go do a little fpv of just floating around in the wind... I did a roll and lost all video.. i take my goggles off to find it circling very close to the big pond.. I just sat there watching it circle over the grass then the pond over and over till it finally hit... of course in the pond. I would not dip my toes in that pond let alone swim in it. Thankfully it was windy so I waited at the edge for it come to me. I got it and it was soaking wet and most of the electronics were underwater. I pulled it out and dumped all the water out and left it in the sun and wind to dry and went to go find the battery. I found it in a rose bush.... All i can say is double check your battery straps!
