Clean Up Procedure

Just some thoughts that might help you salvage some components:

Using DI (Distilled, non-conductive) wash/rinse every component that was soaked. Open up the electronics packages and ensure that they are thoroughly rinsed (assuming they got wet in the first place).

Using 100% ethanol (difficult to obtain, I know) will suck the remainder water off the surface and present a fast drying solvent that can flash off.

Finally, place the components in a desiccant box (Think silica gel) to help drive out the remaining amounts.

This is probably useless for motors but might save your camera, sensors, gts's, gyro, etc.

I'm really sorry to hear this- and would love to help if we can.
