1 Incl. payload (~ 600 g) /// 2 Recommended: Line of sight (~ 150 m) ///
3 GPS mode Redundancy: The redundant propul

sion system enables a controlled flight even with only 5 functioning motors and actively compensates for failure. In worst case the system would start to sink auto

matically. Telemetry in realtime: All necessary system information such as GPS position, height, velocity, battery load, link and GPS quality for instance is displayed live. Sensor output check: All important sensor values and system parameters are checked automatically before each flight. If a value is critical, it will be identified and interrupt the launching procedure auto

matically. 3 Emergency modes: The pilot can choose one of three emergency modes to determine the automatic landing in case of link loss: “Direct landing”, “Comehome straight” (at its current height) or “Comeho

me high” (at max. mission height). As soon as the link is reestablished you may take control again and continue the flight.
