the hoverbike Drone is an unconventional quadcopter due to the overlapping blades
and protective propeller ducts. However, under the covers it is functionally no different
to a traditional quadcopter. It has 4 brushless DC motors that drive the carbon fibre
propellers. these are driven by 30A motor speed controllers, and these speed control-
lers are in turn controlled by the Pixhawk flight controller.
