I wanted to take a moment to share with everyone some tips for multirotors (quadcopters, hexacopters, tricopters, octocopters). Whether you're going to be building one or already built or bought one you will want to remember all of these things.
1. Check all solder joints well
2. Tighten all screws (once you know everything is good - locktite)
3. GPS/Compass facing front
4. Flight Controller facing front
5. Use foam on flight controller - http://shop.dubro.com/p/1-4-r-c-protective-foam-rubber-qty-pkg-1?pp=12
6. Balance props
7. Tighten prop adapters
8. Velcro on battery and velcro strap
9. Setup battery failsafe
10. Setup radio failsafe
11. Range test with radio/receiver
12. Make sure GPS is locked in before flying
13. Keep multirotor balanced (battery/cameras)
14. Explain RTL/RTH
15. Use lights at night
Recorded using a combination of iPhone 5S and GoPro Hero 3 Black.
