• Charge Main LiPo Batteries
  • I parallel charge, so I first check individual pack voltage, make sure the difference is within safe range (0.1V-0.2V difference)
• Charge Ground station LiPo
• Charge TX battery
• Charge GoPro and Mobius (my back up camera)
• Check prop stock
  • if using new props, balance them first
  • for gemfan 5030, has to drill the hole bigger to fit my cobra motor shaft
• Check Quadcopter is flying fine
  • check FPV system (VTX, Camera, OSD) is operating fine
  • check lost plane buzzer is working
• Check we have tools (plier, screw drivers, hex allen key, scissors, battery voltage checker),
• Enough spare (motor/frame screws, prop adapters, cable tie)
