Thoroughly check the craft before every flight…
•
Check to see if any wires have come off
•
Check for loose bolts on the assembly
•
Check that the battery’s are secure
•
Check the battery voltage, and if you have more than one battery, check your spares too
•
Check the propellers for marks and nicks
•
Check the propeller nuts or bolts, make sure they are tight
•
Check the engine mounts and the bolts and nuts for tightness
•
Check the Transmitter battery voltage; never fly the craft with a low voltage reading on your transmitter
(check with the manufacturer of your equipment for minimum and maximum voltage readings).
•
Check that the transmitter antenna is not damaged.
•
Check that the craft receiver module is well connected and that the antenna’s are properly positioned.
•
Take a good look over the craft from all sides to make sure that nothing appears unusual or out of place.
•
Check your flight perimeter.
•
Check for power-lines and overhead obstacles.
•
Assess the weather conditions, wind direction and speed. An anemometer (hand held wind speed meter) is a good tool
to have, otherwise use some dry grass or a tissue, throwing in the air to gauge the wind direction.
•
Do not fly in gusty and turbulent conditions.
•
Set your transmitter timer to 80% of the known battery duration.
