Never bought into the whole "you can fly in the rain concept."

Norwich police drone crashed 'with a second's notice'

The aircraft span out of control while it was being flown over Norwich.

Waterproof is really hard.

Water + electric motor = crash, go figure.

I honestly have my doubts it had anything to do with water/moisture at all.

The UK units have (or had) a different FW than US and the UK has had dozens of that exact same failure with absolutely no moisture to contribute it to.

Our International Public Safety group has discussed this several times because we’ve seen several catastrophic failures in hand last year or so.

In my line of work the rain destroys the optics of the shot anyway. Not to mention my outlook...

Me too, If I lived in your part of the country, depression would be my hobby.
