Ensure the Olympus Glider is on a stable surface. Check all control surfaces and instruments for proper functionality. Use a winch or bungee launch system as recommended in the user manual. Always launch into the wind for optimal lift.
To optimize battery life, fully charge the battery before each use. Avoid exposing the battery to extreme temperatures. Store it in a cool, dry place and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for charging cycles.
Engage the return-to-home function if available. Maintain visual line of sight and use manual navigation to bring the glider back. Check for any signal interference and ensure the transmitter batteries are fully charged.
Perform a basic check before each flight. Conduct a thorough maintenance inspection every 20 flight hours or monthly, whichever comes first. Pay close attention to the airframe, control surfaces, and electronic components.
Check the battery levels in both the glider and transmitter. Ensure there are no obstructions or damage to the control surfaces. Verify that the transmitter is correctly paired with the receiver.
Ensure the wings and control surfaces are clean and free of debris. Adjust the control surfaces for optimal balance and trim. Consider upgrading to lightweight materials if available.
Use a padded carrying case specifically designed for gliders. Disassemble the wings and secure all parts to prevent damage. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the glider during transport.
Access the altimeter settings through the onboard interface or remote app. Set the local elevation as a reference point and follow the calibration steps outlined in the user manual.
Inspect the extent of the damage. If it's minor, consider using repair tape or a patch kit. For significant damage, consult a professional technician or contact Olympus support for replacement options.
Connect the glider to a computer via USB or use the dedicated app if available. Check for updates through the Olympus support website and follow the instructions to install any available firmware updates.
