Generate a Pre-Flight Checklist for Your First Hobby Drone Flight

Unboxing a drone and just taking off is how beginners end up in a hedge, a no-fly zone, or a strongly worded conversation with a stranger. This builds a proper pre-flight checklist covering the physical, legal and set-up checks that matter, plus a simple first ten minutes plan for the maiden flight.
