Water test

Before you fly over, or land on water, you will need to carry out a water test to ensure the dome and
rear hatch are fitted and adjusted correctly.
Please follow the procedure below in order to carry out a water test;
Dome water test
1. Ensure the aircraft is powered off and the batteries are removed.
2. Remove the dome and rear hatch from the aircraft.
3. Using the supplied silicone grease, apply a thin later of grease over the dome neoprene seal.
4. Re-fit the dome and ensure each retaining clip is in its closed position.
5. Lower the front of the aircraft into a suitable container filled with water (bath, tub, pool etc.) ensuring
all of the retaining clips are submerged - do not submerge the whole aircraft only the dome / dome
clips needs to be submerged.
6. After a few seconds you can lift the aircraft out of the water. Keeping the nose of the aircraft
pointing down, look through the opening at the rear of the aircraft to check that no water has
breached the dome. If any water has breached the aircraft you will need to adjust the retaining clips in
that area, so they apply more pressure to the dome / neoprene seal.
7. Once you have made any required adjustments, repeat the above process.
Rear hatch water test
1. Ensure the aircraft is powered off and the batteries are removed.
2. Remove the dome and rear hatch from the aircraft.
3. Using the supplied silicone grease, apply a thin later of grease over the rear hatch neoprene seal.
4. Re-fit the rear hatch and ensure each retaining clip is in its closed position.
5. Lower the back of the aircraft into a suitable container filled with water (bath, tub, pool etc.) ensuring
all of the retaining clips are submerged - do not submerge the whole aircraft only the hatch / hatch
clips needs to be submerged.
6. After a few seconds you can lift the aircraft out of the water, keeping the nose of the aircraft
pointing up. Look through the opening at the front of the aircraft to check that no water has breached
the rear hatch. If any water has breached the aircraft you will need to adjust the retaining clips in that
area, so they apply more pressure to the rear hatch / neoprene seal.
7. Once you have made any required adjustments, repeat the above process.
Be careful not to get any water on the electrical components.
Only a thin layer of grease is required. Applying too much grease may cause it to run onto the
dome.
