POST #1

Hello everyone, I am writing this post to gather everyone and come up with a complete checklist for our Q500 4K drones. I will be editting this post as people add things to it. And, once we have a FINAL checklist, I will lay it out in a nice .pdf file and will share with all of you, so that you can print it and use it correctly.

The checklist must include the following stages:

*Pre Take-Off
*Post Take-Off
*During Flight
*Pre Landing
*Post Landing

Check following post for the start of the checklist itself ------>

Not trying to downplay your effort, but there are at least 2 Q500 check lists here already. Do you not like them?

Not that... I think if we do a formal one in .pdf format, people will print and carry. I will do my best to create one that covers most of the procedures, but I bet I will forget stuff, thats why I'm calling everyone to cooperate and help create a FINAL version with all the checks necessary for a safe and satisfactory flight.
 
I use to fly single engine land airplanes and my check lists weren't that extensive. o_O
