AscTec Hummingbird with AutoPilot User’s Manual

1.1.8 Propellers

The AscTec Hummingbird’s standard propellers are

made of ﬂexible PP-plastics. Their low mass and high

ﬂexibility make the vehicle one of the safest R/C qua-

drotor there is. This is especially convenient when

conduction indoor experiments. However, please ma-

ke sure you always keep a safe distance to people and

follow the safety instructions above.

1.2 Transmitter

Any 6 or more channels R/C transmitter can be used

to operate the AscTec Hummingbird w/ AutoPilot.

Even if it is controlled autonomously using e.g. a PC-

Software and a wireless data link, the transmitter is

required as a backup. As a safety measure the AscTec

AutoPilot is by default not able to launch without a

valid signal from the R/C transmitter.
