No problems with moisture in the snow?

Exactly what I was thinking.

None. Even though it was almost white out conditions it was only up about 1 minute. The video was slowed to 1/5 speed. I put a fan on it after bringing it in the house. I have done this with at least 4 other brands of quadcopter with zero problems. The 3-phase motors will run under water as is.

I'm guessing there's enough air turbulence around the quad that any moisture (snow flakes) that survive the area, are unlikely to be driven into the motor pods and thus causing any issues. Everything else is for the most part moisture resistant (compass, battery compartment, etc.).

You know someone's going to have to test these theories by flying their drones in a variety of weather conditions.... who's up for pouring rain and thunderstorms?

Hey, thanks for volunteering! Look forward to seeing your examples.

Hey, I'm always up for showing people how it SHOULD be done.... currently working on my all weather solo, this can operate in pouring rain, heavy snow and I think it will revolutionize the whole drone industry....
