imo this is a very good idea: Make a checklist of what you should do before flying.
@Sploodge: great list to start off with! Some things i'd add in to the "before first flight" checklist:
5: Firmware Update the Mavic
5b: Firmware Update the RC
5c: Make sure you have the latest version of the DJI Go App installed on your mobile/tablet
...
8b: make sure you have set up the antennas on the RC the right way (parallel, flat, 45°)
...thinking about it, i'll actually make three separate checklists:
1. things to do/check/learn before you actually get the drone (esp. for drone newbies like myself)
2. things to do/check after unboxing, before first flight (or after some days of not flying)
3. things to do and check before each and every flight
What makes this kind of hard: there are different opinions floating around here esp. about the calibrations (compass, RC sticks, gimbal, IMU)
- WHEN and HOW to do WHAT kind of calibration. And IF you do it, how to do it RIGHT? A wrong calibration is the "recipe for disaster" in
any system that relies on good sensor input (from my experience)... i wonder how many problems people are having here might be related tounprecise IMU calibration?
It would be great if we could put together such a checklist here, and please: in simple language (for the non-native English speakers).
