1st crash... how to clean up?

[Phillyjon]

So I had my 1st flight today... and my 1st crash lol. Landed in a tree 40 feet above ground level. After 3 hours of fighting a tree with multiple ladders and extension rods I got the baby down yay! It landed on its side in the mud though. Gimbal seems ok but I have some mud in the rear left motor. Any suggestions on how to clean that out? I’m not sure if I can go to heave with water, maybe some compressed air? Thanks I’m advamce for your help!

I watched a video of a guy tossing water on his Evo while it was flying and it stayed in the air. It wasn't a light sprinkle, he was drenching it. Hopefully yours will be okay. I'd try to get what I could out and blow the rest out with compressed air after it dries.

Thx for the response! I got real fortunate and was able to “pick” the mud out of the motor with a tooth pick. Will be getting some compressed air today to blow it out.
