Pre-Flight check list for Typhoon H & H Plus

[Mrgs1]

Hi KellyR, Exactly calibration is only required If Needed and that is why it's last. As calibration is not needed BEFORE every flight I put it last to jog memory only. I have calibrated only once and that was out of the box new and 4 years later still the original calibration even travelling 70km to fly. I also do not use a check list all the time but when on a job I do as I don't want to miss something which can be costly. cheers

4 years later? Did you get a pre production model? Thought US didn't get til April/May 2016.

I'd probably add "TAKE OFF CAMERA COVER" at the top. I think I forgot once.

If I still had one of those I'd have a sub-section about setting up video properly:

1. Cruise control bump (so it doesn't reset WB when activated in flight)
2. Choose and lock White Balance
3. Manual exposure - set ISO and Shutter speed.

I attached a red "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" tag to my cover.

I’ve got one too but it’s green.

I just look at my drone and controller seeing what's needed to fly.
Turn this on, turn that on, beep beep here, beep beep there and off I go. ?

Your correct Not 4 year. I did get it early in the piece and no it was not pre-production. cheers

I don't forget the camera lock as per photo.

Satellite, not going to clue anybody in on how to use the st10 as camera control with a TH? I've searched this forum and the interweb and never found anything other than folks saying it's not possible.

Being totally sincere, it'd be fantastic to know how to do this and a real benefit to many TH flyers.

I have not got a clue how. It was done for me by a Techno a while ago. cheers

Whatever you think no problem. I can only tell you the truth. cheers

Sorry. The "crap" was intended as a colloquial expression of frustration and not a comment on your explanation. My apologies for not making that clearer.

Understand no problem. cheers

So according to your check list you suggest calibrating the compass after take-off?

That is why you should always test your procedures. That definitely would have come to light if attempted!

How do you do cruise control bump?

I too made one of those when I first started, and have never once referred to it in the field If you fly regularly, your pre-flights get memorised very quickly, but perhaps the process of making the sheet helps with that, so not a criticism...

No need to take off into the wind though ! It's a multirotor - it doesn't care what the wind is directionally doing when it is taking off, landing or at any other time !
The only time I would say you need to pay attention to that is when you are doing longer range flights that you are worried may tax the battery pack - then it makes sense to fly out against the wind so it is behind the craft for its return.

My personal experience with the H says it's a good idea to land into the wind, take off doesn't seem to matter, but my landings are a lot more stable into the the wind.

Sounds like the "Timewarp"
