Yes I did mate, and disarmed it. Then rearmed and raised throttle to see if I could hear motors to find it..but nothing heard.. I'm going back in a few hours...

What FC is on that?
A naze32 will not arm if it is not close to level.
Good luck with the search.

So sorry about your Quad, Tony...
Think positive..."you are going to find it tomorrow!"
Don't give up the faith, Bro!

All my best,

Just a thought, make a reward poster with pics and a description of the area and post it around town.
It's worth paying $100 or so to get back what has survived.
Most of the electronics are probably salvageable.
Fresh water does not do a lot of damage.
You might get a bunch of kids interested enough to go have a look. :)
Nothing to lose.
