Monsoon-Proofing Your Drone: Tips for Kerala, Goa & Coastal Pilots

1. Conformal Coating: Apply a waterproof layer (₹500 kits on Amazon) to protect circuits from humidity.

3. Post-Flight Care:

   • Wipe the drone with a microfiber cloth.

   • Store LiPo batteries in dry, cool places.

4. Motor Maintenance: Clean debris after flights on sandy Goa beaches.
