RE: Newbie mistake....
One day at the local field, I pt my Telemaster 70 (wing off) under the work bench (It would be safe there, right?). My son walked by and put his can of pop down on the bench and eventually knocked it over and it leaked between the boards on the bench right into my fuse[:@]. Needless to say, the electronics were covered in red stickey stuff by the time I noticed.
