I took mine to the beach ( broken camera) and flew it in the evenings when no one was there. It was awesome as shit. I did fall in the water once.
You or the drone? I would think if a drone hits salt water, it is game-over time with the motors and such.
Oh, and I left my money sitting in the bank and jammed it on a BB card at 0% interest for a year. I made three payments, and BAM....done deal. Easy peasy.
Also, I've already got three realtors lined up that want 5 minute fly arounds of their listings. $35 a pop. I get to play with my drone AND make money at the same time. $500 well spent.
Hell I told them money would be due at closing. They really liked that shit. No up front money out of pocket. I really don't care though having to wait, because, I get to play with my drone. And hang out with MILF realtors. Win/win.
