It's about a routine when you're running a boosted setup, so you learn it and you do it every time so you don't forget anything. I turn the booster battery on, confirm both boosters are on, then the tx, then the bird. And it's really easy to forget to turn the **** booster battery off when you're done, so it's a whole power down procedure too. I'll have quite the chore to power up when running a boosted setup with a battery mod, that's for sure.
- Booster battery on
- Confirm boosters are on
- TX on
- Bird on
- Polar pro lights on (night flights)
- Plug in extra batteries
- Confirm they are not making the main battery go into charging mode in error
- Open app and confirm all is well
- uh....finally fly!
This routine has to be learned cold because there will be times I'm under pressure to get airborne as quickly as I can safely do. I can't afford screw ups. This is the biggest drawback of a boosted setup. Add other stuff into the routine like a battery mod, and you have to get it right. But, that's the deal.
