"took a dive on salt water for few 3 min" can it fly again?

Salt water isn't fun for electronics. Sometimes you THINK you cleaned everything up and get it working again only to realize that metals are slowly but surely corroding away under your nose.

Are you in Philly? I'm just down in Delaware (and opened a new MR business (http://www.skygearsolutions.com) - we should round some locals up and meet regularly somewhere in the area.

Sorry for the late reply Been bz ...Yes it did fly again. i immediately remove the battery and took it apart (disasemble) and flushed it with tapwater. When i got home i put every parts in a rice container even the gimbal and it stayed there for 24 hours. Its flying again and only the gopro didn't survive the crash. You'll notice that there is a shiny part on the board where they soldered the wires, most of the parts have that and i think it helps.

Here is the gopro
