I use a plastic kiddie pool, and after that it's off to build confidence in the machine. So far it has performed very well.
General notes on flying in water
A few lessons learned the hard way...
1. use a long vtx antenna so you can maintain video when underwater
2. 2.4ghz does not penetrate water and the antenna need to be mounted above the water line.
3. 900mhz will penetrate freshwater to an extent, it will not penetrate saltwater and the antenna must be placed clear of the water.
4. Batteries used in saltwater must be waterproofed.
5. Bi blade props wont allow you to take off from the water.
6. put angle mode on a switch and use it when flying out of the water. you can exit the water in air or acro mode but it can be a bit more challenging.
7. aquatic grass/vegetation will ruin your day. there is usually no escape if it wraps around a prop or motor. manual retrieval is usually required.
