I'm not sure what the longevity of brushless motors in water would be - you wouldn't want to get water in the bearings. Seems like a pretty cool frame nonetheless.

Absolutely amazing!

Definitely on my wishlist. I need this.
Comment by Kevin Brown on October 22, 2012 at 6:05am I have two on order. I hope to have them this week, I will let you know how motors do in salt water......a fresh water rinse and some wd they should last a while
Longer than they do when they hitting pavement !

Comment by Adam Conway on October 22, 2012 at 6:52am The guy that built this goes to the same Techshop as me (a really good guy by the way, he taught me how to use the shopbot). I have seen him drop the same quad in the water many-a-time without any issues with the motors. The design is pretty cool and surprisingly lightweight and robust. Even without dropping one in the water, it is a good frame. He is one clever dude.

Comment by Kevin Brown on October 22, 2012 at 7:11am Why not all out Drone Fishing
Florida Key Drone Fishing Tournament
Location Pidgin Key, fishing off 7mile bridge
Could be fun
Comment by Jan Detlefsen on October 22, 2012 at 7:16am Drone fishing, great idea. Would like to try it out at some of the Thai snorkelling islands with a GoPro 3.
Why stop half way? Release a small submarine unit and take the camera even further down :)

Nice!
