the hoverbike Drone can be thought of as these three distinct items:
• Vehicle flight controller (vehicle’s brains)
• vehicle receiver (vehicle’s mouth and ears)
• your radio transmitter (your mouth and ears)
you use your radio transmitter (say a Spektrum Dx6i, your phone, etc.) to talk to the
hoverbike Drone receiver. the hoverbike Drone receiver hears this and then tells the
vehicle flight controller what you want it to do. Now, just like talking to a person, there
are limits on the distance to which you can communicate with your hoverbike Drone.
Please read your specifications on your choice of radio transmitter to determine just
how far you can communicate with your vehicle’s receiver. luckily, our hoverbike
Drone can return to home if you go too far from one another. please see https://
pixhawk.org/users/rc_failsafe for how to setup your failsafe mode. however, it is best
practice not to rely on this feature as many environmental conditions can change or
obstruct your hoverbike drone on its blind automated trip home!
