mission mode, Develop Air’s
fl
ight can also be overridden with operator input on a
transmitter.
Position Mode - In position mode, Develop Air can
fl
y using GPS positioning and be
remotely controlled with operator input on a transmitter. With GPS positioning being
used in position mode, Develop Air is able to hover in a location without the operator
providing input on a transmitter.
Manual Mode - In manual mode, Develop Air can
fl
y and be controlled with operator
input on a transmitter. No GPS positioning is used when operating in manual mode,
therefore, the operator must constantly provide direction to Develop Air for sustaining a
hover position or movement.

Develop Air, Inside & Out
Removing the Cover
The electronics enabling Develop Air to
fl
y and operate autonomously are inside
Develop Air’s skateboard. Operators may access the inside of Develop Air by removing
the eight screws on the top cover with a Phillips head screw driver. When removing the
cover, operators will find the GPS assembly is connected from the dome on the top
cover. Operators should not disconnect the GPS or any other wiring within Develop Air’s
airframe/skateboard and also be careful to not over tighten the screws when
reattaching the top cover.
Position & Status Lights
Position Lights - On the bottom side of each motor mount, a NeoPixel light will be found
to make operators and spectators on the ground aware of Develop Air’s orientation in
fl
ight. Arranged like the position lights on a manned aircraft, Develop Air has a red light
on the front left motor mount, a green light on the front right motor mount, and two
white lights on the rear motor mounts.
Status Lights - Develop Air has a total of five status lights, two located near the rear
boom arms and three located on the GPS dome fixed to the top cover.
