Flying the eBee X
Once the motor is at full power the status LED will blink green.
Orientate the drone with its nose approximately 45° up and with level wings.
When the nose-up angle is correct, the status LED will turn solid green, indicating
that the drone is ready for take-off.
Launch the drone with a gentle push, walking 1-2 stepsforward while gently guid-
ing it forwards and up along the 45° climb slope and releasing it from both hands
simultaneously in a forward motion.
After take-off, the drone tries to maintain its initial direction, or follow the direc-
tional take-off heading you set, by keeping its wings level with full thrust until
reaching the take-off transition altitude (by default 20 m (66 ft)). At this point, it
will switch into waypoint navigation mode and fly towards Start. Once it reaches
Start, the drone will circle around the waypoint 1-2 times to estimate the wind
and calibrate its sensors before starting its mission⁹.
⁹ The eBee X may also be programmed to wait at Start for a command before starting its mission. See
your eMotion user manual for more information.
