6 Manual control of the eBee
Goal of this section: This section describes how to use the remote
control to manually control the drone, either in Full Manual or As-
sisted Manual modes.
Caution: Operation of the eBee in either Assisted or Full Man-
ual mode requires the skills of an experienced RC aircraft pilot.
SenseFly Ltd cannot be held responsible for damage caused by man-
ual control of the drone. Any damaged caused by manual control of
the drone will void the warranty.
6.1 Enabling manual control
By default, the eBee flies autonomously and does not need the provided remote
control to be operated. However, by using the remote control, it is possible to
overridethe drone’s autopilot by switching to one of two availablemanual modes:
Full Manual or Assisted Manual. In Full Manual mode the sticks of the remote
control directly set the motor power and the angle of the ailerons of the drone. In
Assisted Manual mode the sticks of the remote control are used to set the speed,
turn rate and climb or sink rate.
Note: Ensure that the ‘Ignore RC signals’ option in the Flight Param-
eters tab is unchecked⁴³, otherwise the drone will ignore the com-
mands fromthe remote controland remain in autonomous operation
mode.
Turning on the remote control will cause the drone to change to either Assisted
Manual or Full Manual mode, depending on the ‘Enable assisted manual control’
setting in the Flight Parameters tab⁴⁴ of eMotion. Turning off the remote control
will cause the drone to return to the last autonomous operation mode it was in
⁴⁴ see section ‘Flight Parameters tab’ on page 116 for more details on this setting
