UAV landing and take-off mat
« on: September 06, 2015, 12:55:11 am »
Due to my location, I have a LOT of dirt and dust to contend with and want to try and keep this away from my motors, etc. I have designed a mat which measures 1500mm square. I plan to have this made in vinyl so it is durable.
I have attached a first draft of the mat as I would really like your opinions, particularly in the way that I have integrated the Pre-flight and Post-flight checklists. If you have suggestions on things to add or remove please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

English is not my language, but "flight vacinity"?

That mat looks very good :) Right now here in Sweden I would need an umbrella over it though. The fall rains have arrived and flying is not possible now :(

Thanks Fredrik,
Yes, our wet season is only a few months away. I'm trying to make the most of the weather at the moment, but work is seriously getting in the way.
