Waterproofing of the receiver

Build, Repair & Mod

Hi,
what do You do about waterproofing the receiver?
Due to condensation there is a little moisture in my box. I have seen that this is enough to start corrosion on the electronics of the receiver.
Do you have any hints for this problem?

Best regards
Stefan

try covering the whole thing in Plastidip and / or add a sack filled with silica gel to the box

Dielectric grease on everything that isn’t insulated.

You can also wrap with plastic tape, the sort used for the cable on the mast.

Low tech solution for me on the 7200 inside a Fliteboard board. I took the receiver and all the wires I am not using put that inside a ziplock bag and put an elastic on around the bag. It would not survive immersion in water. But if a bit of water got in it should be fine. After 2 years with the Flite Pro not a drop of water has gotten in. I even put my car keys in the board sometimes when there’s people around looking at me and I can’t hide them under my car.
