I would tear it apart. its possible the acids in the cow puckey could foul something up, maybe not , theres no harm in playing it safe. Bench test it . Our hobby isnt cheap. Ill bet the rest of us havent had the opportunity to submerge an engine in a cesspool and see if it runs fine after the expieriment. Proceed with caution, let us know what happens. seeya, MJS

I didn't read the whole 6 pages, but I would have just used a really long fishing rod (think saltwater rod) with a super heavy weight (like 2-3oz) tied a few feet above the end with the largest treble hook you could find (buy several cheapest ones you can - when they hang on non-airplane stuff just pull hard and leave em and tie on another).
Works for all kinda stuff. With a large enough weight on a long enough rod you can literally cast forever.

Here is one a friend of mine sent from Southern California. Don't know who owned the model, but there is a JR Transmitter case inside the car, on the floor by the passenger seat.

Oh s*** man, that stinks!
I'll never call you a stick in the mud!
Snow shoes? Now that's funny. Good thing you didn't fall on your face!
You gonna carry a roll of TP in your flight box from now on?
You got a good sense of humor, thanks for posting!

Just came across this thread! This beats my nose first crash in the manure pile, next to the neighbors barn, on Christmas day, 2000. I was new to the hobby, showing off to my whole family, on the snow with my new Dubro skis. My cow pies were frozen, you got me beat all to heck!!! I love your story, can't wait to tell the guys at the field.
See ya!
See ya!

***** happens
I posted a crash I had on my maiden trainer flight under a thread with the title '****** happens'. Read the full story if you like there. Anyway, we were telling some guys my story and another member of the club told the following story but I can't personally vouch for its authenticity.
To recap,our field is near a sewage farm which is maybe 500m way and 500m wide, with various treatment ponds. One has a pipe which blurts out toilet sized quantities of water every minute or so, and then there are various other ponds, one of which is pretty dry and full of tomato plants! There are many water birds about, they obviously think the smell is worth the peace and quiet.
Anyway, this guy and his son (don't know their names) were flying the sons christmas present when the son puts it in one of the larger, smellier lakes. They argue a bit about who should get it because the son doesn't want to go in. Eventually, the father tells him that he has to go and get it but that they can go home and fetch the inflatable mattress from home (there are lots of nice non-sewage pit lakes to swim in round Berlin). So they do and the son sets off. After a few paddles, he topples over and goes in and swears blind that he will not go in again, no matter what.
So, the father does the decent thing. He cannot bear to leave it there. He gets on the inflatable and paddles out to the aircraft 30 meters or so. He grabs it and pulls it on board, then puts it down to grab the paddle.
The prop goes through the inflatable....
