O – On: Turn everything on – Make sure everything is on and functioning.
P – Props: Check your propeller rotation – Make sure you have the right props on the correct motors and that they are spinning the right direction.
I – Interference: Check the goggles – Look for any video interference to ensure you have a strong signal.
L – Linked: Check the transmitter – Make sure your transmitter is communicating and controlling the aircraft.
