Hi ro347,

The electrics should be ok if the water in the pond is fairly neutral ph wise. Just dry out in the sun on a window sill or car dash and then test. Bare wire on the RX aerial rubbing on the wire for the tail wheel could well have been the cause of the crash. Just cover the bare wire with shrink tube and you should be good to go again providing the length hasn't been altered.

Cheers,

Colin
