Hi Guys,
noobie here and spent many hours trawling through this forum for lots of tips and tricks. Thought I would share a checklist I put together yesterday for the Inspire. Let me know your thoughts, anything to add or remove? I have attached in word format too. I have it printed and laminated so I can check off with a whiteboard marker before every flight.
Hoping for my Inspire to arrive later this week... Not sure I want to take it out until the new firmware is released. The list will change as I get more experience and able to refine it. I don't really have any idea as yet, just regurgitating what I have gathered from lots of reading so your input is greatly appreciated.
