My pre-flight starts at the house. I check my P3P pack to make sure everything I will need for the flight is there. I check the aircraft for any damage, ie. cracks, motors are free spinning, gimble is free moving, props are not damaged, batteries are fully charged, RC batteries are charged and RC with no apparent damage. At the flight site I install the props and ensure they are tight. I survey the land. ie. check tree height, check to make sure no radio towers are close by, check for people and animals. I calibrate the compass, ensure I have GPS satelights and safe to fly with home point established. I hover at about 6 feet for about 30 seconds the check the way the aircraft is behaving. I check flight controls for forward, reverse, side to side, up, down and pan. I raise the aircraft to about 100 feet and check wind speed. If all that checks good, I fly. |
