Airframe and control
- Airframe: titanium alloy — stronger than conventional aviation materials without the weight penalty.
- Control modes: ground-station remote control (training and sightseeing), or onboard joystick for experienced pilots.
- Flight modes: GPS mode (auto-balanced, best for beginners) and Attitude mode (manual balancing, skilled pilots only).
- Cooling: proprietary motor and battery cooling keeps performance stable in extended flight.
