5 months ago I helped my uncle get into flying multirotors from 0 RC experience. His goal (like many) was to get a camera in the air!

1 Attachment(s) My PreFlight Checklist for My AP Multirotor
Idea / Posted by Adidas4275 / Jul 01, 2012 @ 07:04 PM / 3,115 Views / 3 Comments / Reply
So i have been asked a couple times and I have seen multiple people ask for one from others. Since being on the road and flying in nature rather than my home flying field or front yard I have realized the importance of a preflight. I am flying more and more over water which i am a chicken about and I am prepared for a failure and the rig going down, but i would rather that not happen. So this is how I try and minimize the risk to my rig and my own safety

here is my Preflight Checklist for my particular rig, it might be of use to others.... (maybe)
